Maintenance
⚠ DANGER Before performing any maintenance on your Lift, make sure it is
completely
disconnected from power. If your organization has Lockout/Tagout policies, make
sure to implement those procedures after connecting to the power source.
To maintain your Lift:
• Daily: Keep the Lift 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, take it out of service,
disconnect it from power, and make arrangements to fix the damage or wear.
• Daily: Make sure all Safety Locks are in good operating condition. Do not use your Lift if the
Safety Locks are damaged or excessively worn.
• Monthly: Check all labels on the Lift. Replace them if they are illegible or missing.
• Monthly: Grease all lubrication points on the Lift.
• Monthly: Check Hydraulic Fluid levels. Refill if low.
• Monthly: Lubricate the wire rope (Cables). Use a wire-rope lubricant such as 90-WT gear oil or
ALMASOL® Wire Rope Lubricant.
• Monthly: Check cable connections, bolts, and pins for proper mounting and torque.
• Every two months: Check all Anchor Bolts to make sure they are properly torqued. If they are
loose, tighten them.
• As needed. Take the Lift out of service and then replace the Lifting Cables if there are signs of
damage or extreme wear.
⚠ WARNING Do not operate your Lift if you find maintenance issues; instead, take the Lift out of
service, then contact your dealer, visit bendpak.com/support, email
support@bendpak.com, or call (800) 253-2363.
