HD-14T Four Post Lift 59 P/N 5900037 — Rev. F — February 2022
Perform an Operational Test
BendPak recommends performing an operational test of your Lift with a standard Vehicle on the
Runways before starting normal service (a typical Vehicle is not required, but is recommended).
NOTICE Residual air in the Hydraulic Systems can cause the Lift to shake, move erratically, or
squeak when you start using it; this is normal. If it happens, do not worry; it will go away
as the Hydraulic System is self-bleeding. If it does not go away soon, try bleeding the
Cylinder of air. If it still does not go away, see Troubleshooting for more information.
To test your Lift:
1. Before you start using your Lift, make sure to check for people, pets, or objects that might be in
the path of the Lift as you raise and lower it.
2. Drive the Vehicle onto the Runways; try to center the Vehicle’s Tires in the middle of each Runway.
Put the Vehicle into park, put on the parking brake, put it in gear if it is a manual transmission, and
chock the wheels.
3. Press and hold the Up button.
After the Runways pass three or four Safety Locks (you will hear them), release the Up button.
4. Press and hold the pushbutton on the Pushbutton Air Valve, then press and hold the Lowering
Handle.
⚠ WARNING Never leave the Lift without making sure that all four Safety Locks have engaged on
locking positions at the same height. If one of the four Safety Locks do not fully
engage, the Runways will not be level and you could risk damaging any Vehicles
sitting on or underneath the Runways.
5. Press the Up button for a few seconds to disengage the Runways from the Safety Locks, then
release the Up button.
6. Press and hold the Pushbutton Air Valve, then press and hold the Lowering Handle. When the
Runways reach the ground, release the Lowering Handle. Wait for one minute.
⚠ CAUTION Always take a break between cycles. The Power Unit’s motor is
not
constant duty;
it cannot be run continuously.
7. Repeat the process, this time raising the Runways to a higher Safety Lock.
8. If the Lift is working without shaking, moving erratically, or squeaking, there is no need to repeat
the procedure.
If the Lift is shaking, moving erratically, or squeaking (which is normal during the start-up period),
repeat the procedure a couple more times, with at least a one-minute break between cycles.
If you continue to have issues, refer to Troubleshooting for assistance.
