PL-6000DC/DCX Two-Post Parking Lift 57 P/N 5900273 — Rev. A6 —July 2024
Operation
This section describes how to operate your Lift.
⚠ DANGER When you even hear the words “automotive lift,” your brain should automatically
remember that lifting a Vehicle is a serious endeavor with life-threatening risks.
Focus on what you are doing. Automotive Lifts are dangerous tools when used by
inexperienced or impaired operators. Do not assume you are going to be
safe this time because nothing happened last time.
Safety Considerations
Do the following before you raise or lower a Vehicle:
• Check the Lift. Walk all the way around the Lift, checking for any missing, heavily worn, or
damaged parts. Always verify all Hydraulic connections including Hydraulic Fittings, Hoses, and
Auxiliary Ports are secure. Do not operate the Lift if you find any issues; instead, take it out of
service, then contact your dealer, email support@bendpak.com, or call (800) 253-2363,
follow the prompts to reach support.
• Check the area. Keep the area around the Lift clean and free of obstructions; anything that
could cause a problem for the Lift or interfere with driving a Vehicle onto or off the Lift. Do not
forget to check above the Lift. If you find an obstruction, move it out of the way. If you find any
other issues, resolve them before using the Lift. Do not allow anyone or anything within 10-feet (3
meters) of the Lift while it is in motion.
• 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 looking down at a smart phone, talking to a co-worker, or be
distracted in any other way.
• Check for safety. Make sure everyone who is going to be walking near the Lift is aware of its
presence and takes appropriate safety measures. Only put Vehicles on the Platforms. When
raising a Vehicle, do not leave it until it is on a Safety Lock. When lowering the Lift, do
not leave it until it is on the ground.
• Check the Vehicle. Never exceed the Lift’s weight rating. Do not allow people inside a Vehicle
you are going to raise. Take any articles you may need out of the Vehicle. Verify the Vehicle is not
overbalanced on either end or either side.
