Use and Care Manual

10AP Series Two-Post Lifts 6 P/N 5900265 — Rev. A10 — September 2023
• Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the equipment has been dropped or
damaged – until it has been examined by a qualified service person.
• Do not let a cord hang over the edge of a table, bench, or counter or come in contact with hot
manifolds or moving fan blades. Loop the power cord around equipment when storing.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating equal to or greater than that of the
equipment should be used. Cords rated for less current than the equipment may overheat. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled out.
• Always unplug equipment from electrical outlets when not in use. Never use the cord to pull the
plug from the outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
• To reduce the risk of a fire, do not operate equipment in the vicinity of open containers of
flammable liquids (like gasoline).
• Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on operating internal combustion engines.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of the body away from moving parts.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use the unit on wet surfaces or expose to rain.
• Always wear safety glasses! Everyday glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses.

Additional Safety Information
The following safety information applies to all BendPak 10AP models:
• 10AP Series Lifts are Two Post Service Lifts. Use them only for their intended purpose.
• You must wear OSHA-approved (publication 3151) personal protective equipment at all times
when installing, using, maintaining, or repairing the Lift. Leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, eye
protection, back belts, and hearing protection are mandatory.
• Never exceed the rated capacity of the Lift.
• When the Lift is in use, keep hands and all body parts well away from it.
• Keep loads balanced on the Lift Arm Assemblies. Clear the area immediately if a Vehicle is in
danger of falling off the Lift.
• Modifications void the warranty and increases the chances of injury or property damage. Do not
modify any safety-related features in any way.
• The Lift uses electrical energy; if your organization has Lockout/Tagout policies, make sure to
implement them after connecting the Lift to a power source.
• When handling the Hydraulic components, always wear safety gloves! In rare cases, a
needle-like stream of Hydraulic Fluid (even at low pressure) can penetrate fingers, hands, or arms.
Such a puncture can feel like a bite, electric shock, or a prick. While it may seem like a minor issue,
any amount of Hydraulic Fluid injected into the human body is a serious issue. Anyone suffering
such a puncture wound should be immediately taken as an emergency to the hospital to
determine the extent of the injury. Explain the circumstances of the injury to the attending
physician, including what type of Hydraulic Fluid was involved. Do not assume a puncture wound
that could have been caused by Hydraulic Fluid is a minor issue; it could be life-threatening.
• Make a visual inspection of the Lift before using it. Do not use the Lift if you find any missing or
damaged parts. Instead, take it out of service, then contact an authorized repair facility, your
distributor, or BendPak at [phone] or email [e-mail].
• BendPak recommends making a thorough inspection of the Lift at least once a year. Replace
any damaged or severely worn parts, decals, or warning labels.
