Lifting Capacity Lifting Time Power Unit 6,000 Lbs. / 2721 Kgs. 45 Sec. 110/220VAC 50/60HZ * *Must specify at time of ordering.
STEP 3 (Power Unit Set Up) 1. Set the Power Unit on the Stand/Tow Handle and mount using the four M8 x 1.25 x 20mm Bolts, Nuts and Washers. (See Fig 3.1) Fig 3.1 2. Remove plug from power unit and install the 90° Fitting w/ O-ring into the power port on the Power Unit. Take care to make sure the O-ring seats properly. 3. Connect the 144” Hydraulic Hose to the 90° Fitting. 4. Fill the reservoir with 6 Quarts/ 1.5 gals of Dexron III ATF or 10W Non-foaming hydraulic fluid.
STEP 5 STEP 6 (Lift Arm Installation) (Installing / Changing Lift Pads) 1. Set the Adjustable Arm on the Ramp ensuring that the Bolt on the arm is inserted through the arm holder channel on the side of the ramp. (See Fig. 5.1) 1. Remove the Socket Head Screw from the end of the lift arm. 2. Slide the desired height Lift Pad riser onto the lift arm. Replace and tighten the Socket head Screw. Drop in the Lift Pad if applicable. (See Fig.3.) Fig 5.1 Fig 6.1 Lift Pad Assembly M12 x 1.
STEP 7 (Wiring Hydraulic Power Unit) WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSION! This equipment has internal arcing or parts that may spark and should not be exposed to flammable vapors. Motor should not be located in a recessed area or below floor level. NEVER expose motor to rain or other damp environments. DAMAGE TO MOTOR CAUSED BY WATER IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
STEP 8 5. Verify that the safety rests in the locked position at each safety stop. Safety is locked when a Safety Block is resting on Safety Pin. (See Fig. 8.1 & 8.2) (Lift Start Up / Final Adjustments) 1. Make sure the Power Unit reservoir is full with 6 quarts/ 1.5 gals of 10-WT hydraulic oil or Dexron-III automatic transmission fluid. Fig 8.1 2. Check the MAIN SAFETY LOCK to make sure it moves freely and springs back to the lock position when released.
6. Raise the lift off the safety locks by pressing the push button on the power unit. Make sure you raise the lift by at least two inches to allow adequate clearance for the safety lock to clear. ( See Fig. 8.3 - 8.5) Fig 8.5 Fig 8.3 Safety Unlocked Fig 8.4 STEP 9 (Bleeding) 1. Lift must be fully lowered before changing or adding fluid. 2. Raise and lower lift six times. The cylinder is self bleeding. After bleeding system, fluid level in power unit reservoir may be down.
STEP 10 • Shall maintain the periodic inspection and maintenance records recommended by the manufacturer or ANSI/ALI ALOIM-2000, American National Standard for Automotive Lifts-Safety Requirements for Operation, Inspection and Maintenance.
LIFT OPERATION SAFETY • DO NOT go under raised vehicle if safety locks are not engaged. • DAILY inspect your lift. Never operate if it malfunctions or if it has broken or damaged parts. Use only qualified lift service personnel and genuine BendPak parts to make repairs. DANGER! • THOROUGHLY train all employees in use and care of lift, using manufacturer’s instructions and “Lifting It Right” and “Safety Tips” supplied with the lift.
TO RAISE THE LIFT WARNING! WARNING! Many specialty or modified vehicles cannot be raised on a two-post frame engaging lift. Contact vehicle manufacturer for raising or jacking details. To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, permit only trained personnel to operate lift. After reviewing these instructions, get familiar with lift controls by running the lift through a few cycles before loading vehicle on lift. Always lift the vehicle using all four adapters.
5. If the specific vehicle lift points are not identified, or if the vehicle has additional or uniquely positioned payload, have a qualified person calculate the vehicle center of gravity or have the vehicle center of gravity determined at a vehicle scale. Load the vehicle with the enter of gravity midway between adapters. 6. Set parking brake or use wheel chock to hold vehicle in position.
7. Push the RAISE button or rotate the control switch on the power unit. Important Note: Allow (2) seconds between motor starts. Failure to comply may cause motor burnout. 8. Stop before making contact with vehicle. Check contact points. If required, slightly move arms or vehicle to allow restraint gear and pawl to mesh. 9. Raise vehicle until tires clear the floor. 10. Stop and check adapters for secure contact at vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lift points. 11.
