Maintenance
⚠ DANGER Before performing any maintenance on your 10AP Lift, verify it is completely
disconnected from power. The Lift uses electrical energy; if your organization has
Lockout/Tagout policies, make sure to implement them before performing any
maintenance. If you come into contact with high voltage, you could be injured or
killed.
Read your manual and understand how this equipment works before using, maintaining, or repairing.
Routine maintenance and adjustments are the responsibility of the owner/user and are not covered
under warranty.
Routine maintenance and adjustments should be carried out on a regular basis. Unless stated
otherwise, all maintenance may be performed by the owner/employer and does not require trained lift
service personnel. Replace worn, damaged or broken parts with original BendPak or BendPak
approved parts or with parts that meet or exceed the original specifications.
To maintain your Lift:
• Daily: Keep the 10AP clean. Wipe up any spills, clean any dirt.
• Daily: Make a visual inspection of all moving parts and check for damage or excessive wear.
Replace any damaged or worn parts before using the Lift.
⚠ DANGER Do not use the Lift if the cables are damaged or extremely worn. If a Vehicle is
raised when you notice the damage or extreme wear, very carefully lower the
Vehicle to the ground. When the Lift is on the ground, remove it from service,
disconnect it from power, and make arrangements for repair.

the Safety Locks are damaged or excessively worn.

• Every three to five years or as needed. Carefully check the Equalizing Cables every three
to five years, or immediately if there are signs of damage or extreme wear. See Wire Rope
Inspection and Maintenance for additional information.
