BendPak PL-6000DC - Final Checklist before Operation

PL-6000DC/DCX Two-Post Parking Lift 56 P/N 5900273 — Rev. A6 —July 2024
When the Platform is about a foot off the ground, release the Key. The Key will return to the center
neutral position and the Lift Platform will stop rising.
Turn the Key to the Right (clockwise) toward Dn. The Lift Platform begins to lower.
When the Platform gets to the ground, release the Key. The Key will return to the center neutral
position.
Wait for one minute.
⚠ CAUTION The Power Unit’s motor is not constant duty; it cannot be run continuously.
Repeat the process, this time raising the Platform to the first Safety Lock.
If the Platform is working without shaking, moving erratically, or squeaking, there is no need to
repeat the procedure.
If the Platform is shaking, moving erratically, or squeaking, this is perfectly normal during the start-
up period. Repeat the procedure one or two more times, with a one-minute break between. The
Hydraulic System is self-bleeding.
If additional Lifts are installed, perform the same test with all the connected Lifts.
If you used a Vehicle for the testing, check the Platform Sections to verify they stayed in place and
all fasteners are secure.
Check the Hydraulic Fluid reservoir on the Power Unit.
NOTICE Bleeding the Hydraulic System may significantly lower the amount of Hydraulic Fluid in the
reservoir. Add additional Hydraulic Fluid if necessary.
If there are issues that remain, refer to Troubleshooting for more information.
Final Checklist before Operation
Make sure these things have been done before using your Lift:
• Review the Installation Checklist to make sure all steps have been performed.
• Verify the Power Unit is getting power from the power source.
• Check the Hydraulic Fluid reservoir; it must be full of approved Hydraulic Fluid or Automatic
Transmission Fluid. You can damage the Power Unit by running it without enough
fluid.
• Check the Hydraulic System for leaks. Verify all Hydraulic Hose connections, Hydraulic Fittings,
and Auxiliary Port Plugs on the Lift and Power Unit are tight.
• Check the Lift Platform Sections to verify they are bolted securely and in place.
• Verify sure all Posts are properly anchored, shimmed, level, and stable.
• Verify all Chains are taut, correctly routed, and properly positioned and lubricated.
• Verify all Safety Locks are working normally.
• Make sure to leave a copy of the Installation and Operation Manual with the Lift.
• If it has not been done already, perform an operational test of the Lift.
