Operation
This section describes how to operate your Lift.
Safety Considerations
Do the following every time before you raise a Vehicle on your Lift:
• Check the Lift. Walk all the way around the Lift, checking for any missing, heavily worn, or
damaged parts. Do not operate the Lift if you find any issues; instead, take it out of service, then
contact your dealer, email support@bendpak.com, or call (800) 253-2363 option 7, then 4.
• Check the area. Keep the area around and under the Lift clean and free of obstructions;
anything that could cause a problem. Do not forget to check above the Lift. If you find an
obstruction, move it out of the way. If you find any other issues, resolve them before using the Lift.
Do not allow any people or animals within 30 feet of the Lift while it is in motion.
• Check the operators. Make sure everyone who is going to operate the Lift has been trained in
its use, has read the labels on the unit, and has read the manual. Only the operator at the Controls
should be within 10 feet of the Lift when it is in motion.
• Do not allow children to operate the Lift. Do not allow anyone under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication to operate the Lift. Do not allow any unauthorized personnel to operate the Lift.
• Check for safety. Ensure everyone who will be walking near the Lift is aware of its presence and
takes appropriate safety measures. Only put Vehicles on the Runways.
• When raising a Vehicle, do not leave it until the Platform is engaged on a Safety Lock. When
lowering the Lift, do not leave it until it is on the ground.
• Check the Vehicle. Never exceed the Lift’s weight rating. Do not allow people inside a Vehicle
you are going to raise. Double check you have everything you need out of the Vehicle before
raising the Lift. Make sure the Vehicle is not overbalanced on either end or either side.
• NEVER park any vehicle on the Lift’s runways without placing two suitable wheel chocks behind
each rear tire so that the vehicle cannot roll off the Lift. Vehicles parked on Lift MUST also be
placed in Park or First Gear (Manual Transmission) with the Parking Brake fully applied.
Using the Controls
The Controls for your Lift include:
• Up button. Press and hold to raise the Runways. Located near the top of the Power Unit.
To put Runways onto a Safety Lock position: Raise the Runways a little above where you
want them, then press and hold the Lowering Handle to back the Runways down onto the Safety
Locks position (do not press and hold the pushbutton on the Pushbutton Air Valve). When the
Runways stop going down, they are engaged on a Safety Lock.
Before leaving the Lift, make sure all four corners are engaged on their Safety Locks.
• Lowering Handle. Press and hold to lower the Runways. Located in the middle of the Power
Unit, the Lowering Handle is long and has a ball at the end.
To lower raised Runways down to the ground: press and hold the Pushbutton on the
Pushbutton Air Valve first, then press and hold the Lowering Handle.
Watch the Runways as they move down to make sure they are coming down evenly. If they are
not, stop lowering the Lift and troubleshoot the problem.
⚠ WARNING Only leave the Runways either engaged on a Safety Lock position or fully lowered.
