Operation
This section describes how to operate your Lift.
BendPak recommends reading Lifting It Right from the Automotive Lift Institute prior to putting your Lift
into normal operation. It is a guide to the considerations required for the safe operation of automotive
Lifts. It was included with your Lift.
⚠ DANGER Note that using an “automotive lift,” to lift a Vehicle is a serious endeavor with life-
threatening risks. Pay attention. Automotive Lifts are dangerous tools when used by
inexperienced or impaired operators.
Do not assume-Check before use
.
Safety Considerations
Do the following before raising or lowering a Vehicle:
• Check the Lift. Walk all the way around the Lift, checking for any missing, heavily worn, or
damaged parts. Always verify that all Hydraulic connections including Fittings, Hoses, and Auxiliary
Ports are secure. Do not operate the Lift if issues emerge; instead, take it out of service, then
contact the dealer, email support@bendpak.com, or call (800) 253-2363.
• Check the area. Keep the area around the Lift clean and free of obstructions; anything that may
cause a problem for the Lift. Do not forget to check
above
the Lift. If an obstruction is found,
move it out of the way. Resolve any issues before using the Lift. Do not allow anyone or anything
within 30 feet of the Lift while it is operating.
• Check the operators. Make sure that 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 Console should be within 30 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 or
alcohol to operate the Lift. Do not allow any unauthorized personnel to operate the Lift.
When the Lift is moving, the Operator must be paying full attention to the Lift and the area around
it. The Operator must not be multi-tasking, talking to another, or be distracted in any other way.
• Practice safety. Make sure everyone who is going to be walking near the Lift is aware of its
general operating capabilities and takes appropriate safety measures. Only put Vehicles on the
Platforms.
When raising a Vehicle, do not leave the lift until platforms are on the
Safety Locks
. When lowering the Lift, do not leave until it is safely on the ground.
• Check the vehicle. Never exceed the Lift’s weight rating. Do not allow people inside a Vehicle
that is going to be raised. Remove from the Vehicle anything that might be needed later while it is
up on the Lift. Make sure the Vehicle is properly parked, is not off-balance on either end, and
safety chocks are behind rear tires.
Raising and Lowering Vehicles
Keep the following in mind when operating your Lift:
• Be safe. Make sure to check for people, pets, other vehicles, tool boxes, and objects that might
be in the path of the Lift as it is raised or lowered. Watch the Lift carefully as it raises and lowers.
⚠ DANGER Pay careful attention when raising or lowering the Platforms. If a person or pet
becomes stuck under the Platform, they could be injured or, in rare cases, killed.
• Platforms operate independently. Each Platform on the Lift operates independently.
