• • • • • • • • Do not make any modifications to the product. The Air/Hydraulic Pump is a tripping hazard if you keep it on the ground. Make sure everyone who uses the Lift or works near it is aware of the location of the Pump. Before lowering the Lift, check underneath to make sure there are no people or equipment under it. There must not be anything under it that would interfere with normal use. Use the product indoors on a flat, concrete floor.
Components The main components of the RML-1500XL ATV/Motorcycle Lift are: • • • • • • • • • Platform. The flat section on which you put the ATV or Motorcycle. Includes the Clamp Assembly (for clamping the front tire). The Platform is used standalone in Motorcycle Mode or with the Front and Side Extensions installed in ATV Mode. Side Extensions. Optional. Make the Platform wider. Used in ATV Mode. Front Extension. Optional. Makes the Platform longer. Used in ATV Mode. Base. The bottom section of the Lift.
• • • • • Motorcycle Ramp. One long yellow ramp; wide enough to use for motorcycles only when used in Motorcycle Mode. Can also be used on top of the two gray ATV Ramps in ATV Mode. Stability Rods. Two long steel pieces with threads on one end. They connect to the underside of an ATV Ramp, providing stability for the ATV Ramps. Used in ATV Mode only. Adjustment Rods. Two on each end of the Lift.
Tie-Down Poles. Tall poles on the Ramp end of the Lift that give you options for securing the Motorcycle or ATV on the Platform. You are not required to use them. • Connecting Rods. Three long Rods that connect the Side Extensions and the Front Extension to the Platform. Used in ATV Mode. Each Connecting Rod has a Lock Bolt on each end (to prevent the Connecting Rod from slipping out) and a Cotter Pin for each Lock Bolt (to keep the Lock Bolt from coming out).

Installation This section describes how to prepare your ATV/Motorcycle Lift for normal operation. Perform the tasks in the order listed. Installation Safety Rules Pay attention at all times during installation. Use appropriate tools and equipment. Stay clear of moving parts. Keep hands and fingers away from pinch points. Safety is a top priority. Use caution when unpacking the Lift.
Clearances The drawing below shows the amount of space around the Lift to operate it effectively. ⚠ WARNING For safety purposes, only the operator should be within 30 feet /10 meters of the Lift during use. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown. BendPak Ranger recommends leaving an additional 12 inches / 305 mm of open space above the top of the Tie-Down Poles. RML-1500XL ATV / Motorcycle Lift 11 P/N 5900183 — Rev. E — Feb.
Unpack the Components Use caution when unpacking Lift components. You do not want to damage or misplace anything. Tip Consider unpacking the components in the area where you are going to set up the Lift. The fewer times you move the components, the fewer opportunities there are for them to get lost, get damaged, or damage the surface they are on. To unpack the Lift components: 1. Move the box holding the Lift as close as possible to where it will be used. 2.
Once the Hydraulic Hose is connected, you can use the Raising Pedal to raise the Lift. If you plan on using a pressurized Air Supply to raise the Lift and the Air Supply is nearby and ready, you can connect the Pneumatic Hose to the Air/Hydraulic Pump and then use the Raising Trigger to raise the Platform. ⚠ WARNING The Lift uses pneumatic (air) energy; if your organization has Lockout/Tagout policies, make sure to implement them once the Lift is connected to a pressurized Air Supply. 7.
Choose a Mode The Lift can be installed in either of two Modes: • Motorcycle Mode. For motorcycles only. In Motorcycle Mode, the Lift’s Platform is not wide enough to accommodate ATVs. To install the Lift in Motorcycle Mode, install the Cover and the Motorcycle Ramp, then bolt the Clamp Assembly onto the front of the Platform. If you are installing the Lift in Motorcycle Mode, do not install the two gray ATV Ramps, the Side Extensions, or the Front Extension.
Putting the Lift Components into Place The following procedure assumes you have unpacked the Lift components and decided on which Mode you want to use. If not, go back and do those things before proceeding. This section does not cover installing the Clamp Assembly; it is covered in the next section. RML-1500XL ATV / Motorcycle Lift 15 P/N 5900183 — Rev. E — Feb.
Refer to the drawing on the previous page during installation. To install Lift components: 1. Put the Cover into place at the Ramp end of the Lift. 2. Take the Front Extension and slide it over the non-Ramp end of the Lift. You can easily identify this end of the Lift because it has the drilled holes used later to install the Clamp Assembly. These hole are shown in the drawing on the previous page. Make sure to align the holes in the side of the Front Extension with the holes in the side of the Platform. 3.
Installing the Clamp Assembly The Clamp Assembly holds the front tire of the ATV or Motorcycle in place while it is on the Lift. It includes three pieces, all of them yellow. The Tire Stop, which bolts onto the Platform, is also yellow. To install the Clamp Assembly and Tire Stop: 1. Locate the three pieces of the Clamp Assembly (Handle Assembly, Moveable Clamp Arm, and Bolted Clamp Arm), the Tire Stop, and 14 Bolts, Flat Washers, Split-Lock Washers, and Nuts.
Operation This section describes how to use the ATV/Motorcycle Lift safely during normal operation. Safety Rules Important: Your safety is dependent on reading, understanding, and implementing these Safety Rules. Do not skip over them; read them carefully and follow them! To use your ATV/Motorcycle Lift safely: • Before raising a vehicle, inspect the Lift every time. Check for kinked hoses, worn or missing parts, or any other abnormalities.
Raising a Vehicle The Platform is raised using the Air/Hydraulic Pump. To raise a vehicle: 1. Make sure you are wearing OSHA-approved (publication 3151) Personal Protective Equipment: leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, back belts, hearing protection, and ANSI-approved eye protection (safety glasses, face shield, or goggles). 2. Make sure the Platform is fully lowered, the area around the Lift is clear of any obstructions, and the Safety Lock Release Handle is in the lowered (Lock) position. 3.
⚠ CAUTION Do not raise the Platform past the top Safety Lock. In rare cases, the Safety Lock Plate can go too far and get stuck past the top Safety Lock. If this happens, manually lift the Safety Lock Plate to unstick it. 10. Use the Lowering Pedal to back the Platform down onto the most recently passed Safety Lock. 11. When the Platform stops moving, hold the Lowering Pedal down for several more seconds, then check to make sure the Safety Lock Plate is engaged on the Safety Lock.
Using the Casters The Lift has built-in Casters, making it easy to move the Lift to different locations. To move the Lift using the Casters: 1. Find a 10 mm hex key (also called an Allen® key or wrench). 2. Locate the four Caster Adjustment Rods on the Base of the Lift. The two Caster Adjustment Rods on the Ramp end of the Lift may be under the gray ATV Ramps if you have installed them already. 3. Turn each of the four Caster Adjustment Rods clockwise to engage the Casters.
Maintenance ⚠ WARNING Disconnect the Lift from its pressurized Air Supply (if connected) before performing any troubleshooting procedures. The Lift uses pneumatic (air) energy; if your organization has Lockout/Tagout policies, make sure to implement them once the Lift is connected to a pressurized Air Supply. To maintain your ATV/Motorcycle Lift: • • • Cleanliness. Make sure to keep the Lift clean and free of debris and dirt. Wipe it down after each use; remove any grease, dirt, or other debris.
Troubleshooting ⚠ WARNING Disconnect the Lift from its pressurized Air Supply (if connected) before performing any troubleshooting procedures. The Lift uses pneumatic (air) energy; if your organization has Lockout/Tagout policies, make sure to implement them once the Lift is connected to a pressurized Air Supply. Issue Action to Take Platform does not raise. Make sure you have a pressurized Air Supply attached or are using the Raising Pedal.
