MD-6XP Mid-Rise Scissor Lift 24 P/N 5900108 — Rev. F2 — April 2021
not allow anyone under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication to operate the Lift. Do not
allow any unauthorized personnel to operate the Lift.
• 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 Platform. When raising
a Vehicle, do not leave it until it is
engaged 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. Make sure the Vehicle is not overbalanced on either end or either side.
• Check the spacing between the MD-6XP and the Vehicle to be lifted. This lift requires at
least one inch of upward movement prior to lifting a heavy load. It cannot raise a heavy load from a
completely flat starting position.
If this happens to you, refer to Troubleshooting, visit Bendpak.com/support, or send an email

About Safety Locks
Your Lift comes with three Safety Lock positions; they serve two important functions:
• Safety. Safety Locks hold the Platform in place. Once the Lift is engaged on the desired Safety
Lock, the weight of the Vehicle holds the Platform in place. If the power goes out, the Safety Lock
holds the Platform, and anything on it, in place.
⚠ WARNING Always leave your Lift engaged on a Safety Lock or fully lowered. Although rare, it is
possible for Hydraulic Fluid in the Hydraulic Cylinders to leak, causing the Platform
to slowly come down if it is not engaged on a Safety Lock.
• Adjustable height. Having multiple Safety Locks means you can raise the Vehicle to just the
right height for the work you are performing.
To put your Lift on a Safety Lock:
1. Press the Up button on the Power Unit to raise the Platform.
The Release Cam has not passed over the Lock Block; the Lift would
not go on a Safety Lock at
this point.
2. To use that Safety Lock, keep pressing Up for another half a second, then release Up.
3. Press and hold the Lowering Handle for a few seconds; the Release Cam moves into a locked
position on the Lock Block it just passed.
