BendPak PL-6000DC - Unload and Unpack; Creating Chalk Line Guides

PL-6000DC/DCX Two-Post Parking Lift 19 P/N 5900273 — Rev. A6 —July 2024
Unload and Unpack
Try to unload the components of the Lift near the location where you will be installing it.
Once the components are unloaded, they are your responsibility to move. As the Lift includes several
heavy pieces, the closer you unload them to the installation location, the better off you are.
⚠ WARNING Some Lift components are very heavy; if handled incorrectly, they can
damage materials like tile, sandstone, and brick. Try to handle the Lift components
just twice: once when delivered and once when moved into position. You must
have a Forklift or Shop Crane to move them into position. Use care when moving
them around.
⚠ WARNING The Posts and Structural members are delivered with stabilizing structures on each
end. Use caution when removing these stabilizing structures; the Posts and Beams
could shift or even fall. If they fall on a person, they could cause serious injury.
Creating Chalk Line Guides
Creating Chalk Line Guides help ensure the Posts are installed correctly. Refer to the figure on the next
page to create Chalk Line Guides for your Lift.
Your Lift has Two Posts:
• Powerside Post: Located on the Left side when viewed from the Approach. The Powerside
Post holds, the Power Unit and Junction Box, Limit Switch, and the Control Panel, used to operate
the Lift. The Powerside Post is unique; it has drilled holes and weldments that hold
the Power Unit, Limit Switch and Control Panel. You must orient the Powerside Post so
that the drilled holes in the base are oriented as shown in the figure on the previous page.
• Offside (Shared) Post: Located on the Right side of the Lift. When shared, this post will mount
the Control Panel, Power Unit, Limit Switch and Junction Box for the second Lift.
To create the four Chalk Line Guides:
Create a Chalk Line to define the Front of the Lift; make the Front Chalk Line longer than the Total
Width setting for your Lift.
Create the Powerside and Offside Post Chalk Lines at 90° angles to the Front Chalk Line and
parallel to each other; make the Powerside Post and Offside (Shared) Post Chalk Lines longer than
the Total Depth setting for your Lift model.
The Powerside and Offside Post Chalk Lines must be exactly 100.25 in. (2,547 mm) distant
from each other, at both ends. Measure to verify that this is true.
Create the Rear Chalk Line parallel to the Front Chalk Line; make the Rear Chalk Line longer than
the Total Width setting for the Lift.
The Front and Rear Chalk Lines must be exactly 60.31 in. (1,532 mm) distant from each other,
at both ends. Measure to verify that this is true.
Before moving the posts into position, measure diagonally to verify the two diagonals are equal.
Measuring diagonally ensures your layout is square. Do not forget to check the diagonals.
