BendPak P-9000LT - Adding Hydraulic Fluid; Approved Hydraulic Fluid Types

P-9000LT/F Low-Rise Pit Lift 38 P/N 5900022 — Rev. B — Nov. 2019
Adding Hydraulic Fluid
The Hydraulic Fluid reservoir on the Power Unit must be filled with Hydraulic Fluid or automatic
transmission fluid before you begin normal operation of the Lift.
When you receive the Lift, the
fluid reservoir is empty.
The Power Unit will not work correctly until the reservoir is filled with approved Hydraulic Fluid.
Approved fluids are any general purpose ISO-32, ISO-46, or ISO-68 Hydraulic Fluid, approved
automatic transmission fluids such as Dexron III, Dexron VI, Mercon V, Mercon LV, or any synthetic
multi-Vehicle automatic transmission fluid.
⚠ WARNING Do not run your Power Unit without Hydraulic Fluid; you will damage it.
To fill the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir:
1. Remove the Reservoir Cap from the top of the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir.
Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.
2. If the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir is
not full, fill it with approved fluid.
The Reservoir holds approximately 1.5 gallons / 5.5 liters. Use care to keep the fluid clean when
filling the Reservoir.
Important: The Power Units currently shipping with the P-9000LT/F hold approximately
1.5 gallons / 5.5 liters of Hydraulic Fluid. If different Power Units are substituted in
the future, which occasionally happens, you could end up with a Power Unit with a
different sized Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir. If 1.5 gallons / 5.5 liters does not seem like
an appropriate amount of Hydraulic Fluid for the Reservoir on your Power Unit, fill
the Reservoir up to the MAX line on the Reservoir or to .5 in / 12.5 mm under the
Reservoir Cap instead.
Approved fluids are any general purpose ISO-32, ISO-46, or ISO-68 hydraulic fluid or approved
automatic transmission fluids such as Dexron III, Dexron VI, Mercon V, Mercon LV, or any synthetic
multi-Vehicle automatic transmission fluid.
3. If the Reservoir is low, add approved fluid until the fluid level is at least at the minimum level;
maximum level is best.
If your Reservoir does not have MAX/MIN markings, full is approximately .5 in / 12.5 mm under the
Reservoir Cap.
4. When the Reservoir is filled, put the Reservoir Cap back on.
