MD-6XP Mid-Rise Scissor Lift 28 P/N 5900108 — Rev. F — March 2020
About the Accessories
The MD-6XP comes with four Lift Arms.
To use the Lift Arms, you put on the desired Pads, drive the Vehicle over the Lift, then position the
Pads under the manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points for the Vehicle you are raising.
⚠ WARNING When you raise a Vehicle with the MD-6XP, you are raising it using four Pads which
grip the underside of the Vehicle at four points. You want to position your Pads
under the manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points because the manufacturer,
by calling out those Lifting Points, is saying that if you raise the Vehicle at those
points the Vehicle will be balanced. That balance is extremely important; it is what
keeps the Vehicle from slipping off the Lift.
To find the manufacturer’s recommended Lifting Points for just about any Vehicle, consult
Vehicle
Lift Points for Frame-Engaging Lifts
, available on the ALI website (www.autolift.org/ali-store).
You position the Pads by, in no particular order:
• sliding the Pads along the length of the Lift Arm
• sliding the Pin end of the Lift Arm in its Channel in the Platform
• moving the Pad end side to side (with the Pin end as the hinge point)
Each Lift Arm can be fitted with either a Short Pad or a Tall Pad/Adapter/Base combination, which
come with the Lift.
Important: If you are going to be raising Vehicles with
body-on-frame
construction (compared to
unibody
construction), BendPak recommends purchasing 35 mm Frame Cradle Pads
for safer lifting. These are available on the BendPak website in the Car Lift
Accessories section. Make sure to order the 35 mm Pin Diameter option.
If you get 35 mm Pin Diameter Frame Cradle Pads, they replace the Tall Pad in the Tall
Pad/Adapter/Base combination.
You can easily switch between the Short Pads and the Tall Pad/Adapter/Base combination based on
the Vehicles you are raising.
To switch, remove the Lock Screw on the end of the Lift Arm, remove the current Pad, slide on the
desired Pad, and then replace the Lock Screw.
If you are using the Tall Pad/Adapter/Base combination, you can use it with or with the Tall Pad
Adapter, and the Tall Pad can be swapped out for a Frame Cradle Pad if you have purchased a set of
them (Frame Cradle Pads are accessories, they do
not
come with the Lift).
