HD-9 Series Four-Post Lifts 4 P/N 5900123 — Rev. M1 — March 2020
Shipping Information
Your equipment was carefully checked before shipping. Nevertheless, you should thoroughly inspect
the shipment
before
you sign to acknowledge that you received it.
When you sign a bill of lading, it tells the carrier that the items on the invoice were received in good
condition.
To protect yourself, do not sign until
after
you have inspected the shipment.
If any of
the items listed on the bill of lading are missing or are damaged, do not accept the shipment until the
carrier makes a notation on the bill of lading that lists the missing and/or damaged goods.
If you discover missing or damaged goods
after
you receive the shipment and have signed the bill of
lading, notify the carrier at once and request the carrier to make an inspection. If the carrier will not
make an inspection, prepare a signed statement to the effect that you have notified the carrier (on a
specific date) and that the carrier has failed to comply with your request.
It is difficult to collect for loss or damage after you have given the carrier a signed bill of lading. If this
happens to you, file a claim with the carrier promptly. Support your claim with copies of the bill of
lading, freight bill, invoice, and photographs, if available.
Our willingness to assist in helping
you process your claim does not make us responsible for collection of claims or
replacement of lost or damaged materials.

Safety Information
The following safety information applies to the HD-9 Four-Post Lifts:
• BendPak recommends referring to the ANSI/ALI ALIS Standard (R2015) Safety Requirements for
Installation and Service for more information about safely installing, using, and servicing your Lift.
• The product may only be operated by authorized, trained persons.
• 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 all body parts well away from it.
• Do not make any modifications to the Lift; this voids the warranty and increases the chances of
injury or property damage.
• Make sure all operators read and understand this Installation and Operation Manual. Keep the
manual near the Lift at all times.
• Make an inspection of the Lift
before
using it. Check for damaged, worn, or missing parts. Do not
use it if you find any of these issues. Instead, take it out of service, then contact an authorized
repair facility, your dealer, or BendPak at (800) 253-2363 or support@bendpak.com.
