Select a Site
The MD-6XP is portable, so you may be moving it and using it at a variety of locations. Keep the
following in mind when selecting a location for your Lift:
• Clearance. You must have adequate space on all sides, plus enough space above for the
Vehicles you will be raising. See Clearance Around the Lift for more information.
• Check for overhead obstructions. Check for overhead obstructions such as building
supports, heaters, electrical lines, low ceilings, hanging lights, and so on.
You do not want the
Vehicles on the Lift hitting obstructions
.
• Operator. The operator
must have a full, unobstructed view of the Lift.
• Level Floor. Only install the Lift on a dry, flat, and stable floor; do not install the Lift on dirt or an
uneven surface.
• Power. You will need a 115 VAC or 220 VAC power source available near the Power Unit.
• Operating temperature. The Lift is designed to be used between temperatures of 41º to 104ºF
(5º to 40ºC).
• Outdoor use. The Lift is best not left outside for long periods of time. If you want to use it
outside, BendPak recommends moving it outside, using it, then moving it back inside.
⚠ DANGER Keep the Power Unit away from damp environments; the motor must not get wet.
• Dress properly. Always wear protective gear when installing the Lift. Leather gloves, steel-toed
work boots, eye protection, back belts, and hearing protection
are mandatory . Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry; contain long hair; keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
⚠ WARNING You must wear OSHA-approved (publication 3151) Personal Protective Equipment
at all times when using the Lift.
Planning for Electrical Work (220 VAC only)
If you received a Power Unit configured for 220 VAC operation (must’ve been specified at the time of
ordering), you will need to have a licensed, certified Electrician at some point in the installation.
⚠ DANGER All wiring must be performed by a licensed, certified Electrician.
A Power Unit configured for 220 VAC operation is shipped with a pigtail for wiring to the power source.
Have your Electrician remove the pigtail and wire from inside the Electrical Box on the Power Unit to an
appropriate Power Cord and Plug.
Note: The Power Cord and Plug are
not supplied with the Lift.
