INSTALLER / OPERATOR
PLEASE READ AND FULLY
UNDERSTAND.
BY PROCEEDING YOU AGREE TO /
CERTIFY THE FOLLOWING.
I have visually inspected the lift on which the Rolling
Bridge Jack is to be installed and verified the lift to be
in good condition and free of defects. I understand that
installing a rolling jack on a lift in poor condition could
cause lift failure resulting in personal injury or death.
I understand that this Rolling Bridge Jack is to be
installed ONLY on a lift manufactured by BendPak
Incorporated and that the capacity of the Rolling Bridge
Jack(s) is consistent with the maximum capacity of the lift
that it being installed on.
I understand that a level floor is required for proper
installation and level lifting.
I understand that I am responsible if my floor is of
questionable slope and that I will be responsible for all
charges related to pouring a new level concrete slab if
required and any charges.
I will assume full responsibility for the concrete floor
and condition thereof, now or later, where the above
equipment model(s) are to be installed. Failure to follow
danger, warning, and caution instructions may lead to
serious personal injury or death to operator or bystander
or damage to property.
I understand that BendPak lifts are designed to be

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal protective equipment helps makes installation
and operation safer, however, it does not take the place
of safe operating practices. Always wear durable work
clothing during any installation and/or service activity.
Shop aprons or shop coats may also be worn, however
loose fitting clothing should be avoided. Tight fitting
leather gloves are recommended to protect technician
hands when handling parts. Sturdy leather work shoes
with steel toes and oil resistant soles should be used by
all service personnel to help prevent injury during typical
installation and operation activities.
Eye protection is essential during installation and
operation activities. Safety glasses with side shields,
goggles, or face shields are acceptable.
Back belts provide support during lifting
activities and are also helpful in providing
worker protection. Consideration should
also be given to the use of hearing
protection if service activity is performed
in an enclosed area, or if noise levels are high.
THIS SYMBOL POINTS OUT IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHICH IF NOT FOLLOWED
COULD ENDANGER THE PERSONAL SAFETY AND/OR PROPERTY OR YOURSELF AND OTHERS
AND CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN
THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS MACHINE.

Fig. 3.1
STEP 3
(Adjusting Lift / Jack Orientation)
1. Following the manufacturer’s instructions in the lift
manual. Lower the lift to the ground. (If using a shop crane,
you may need to lock the lift on the first Safety Lock to
make room for the legs of the Shop Crane.)
2. If adjustable, adjust the Runway of the lift to the
desired width. Be sure to check the specifications of the
lift and the Rolling Bridge Jacks to be sure that the Rolling
Bridge Jack can be adjusted to the desired Runway width.
(See Fig. 3.1 & 3.2)

10
Fig. 3.2

11
STEP 4
(Installing Jack on Rail)
1. Lower the Rolling Bridge Jack all the way down.
2. Using a shop crane, forklift or other lifting device raise
the Rolling Bridge Jack and place it in between the
Runways. (See Fig. 4.1)
3. Lower the Rolling Bridge Jack to just above the Utility
Rails on the inside of the Runways.
4. Adjust the Rolling Bridge Jack arms to the correct
width. (See Fig. 4.2)
NOTE: 18-25K models do not have adjustable arms.
5. When the desired width is reached. Lower the
Rolling Bridge Jack into the Utility Rails. Double check
that the Rollers are seated properly in or on the Utility
Rails. (See Fig. 4.3 & 4.4)
6. Ensure that the Utility Rail Channel is clean of debris,
tools etc.
7. Repeat the process for the other Rolling Bridge Jack
if installing in pairs.
8. Raise the lift up off the ground so that the Rolling
Bridge Jack is off the ground and lower the lift onto the
first safety stop.
ENSURE THAT THE LIFT IS RESTING ON THE
SAFETIES BEFORE PROCEEDING.
9. Check the clearance and movement of the Rolling
Bridge Jack by sliding the Rolling Bridge Jack forward
and rearward on the rails. Check that the Rollers are
centered on the Rails at all points along the rail’s length.
Adjustment of the Rolling Bridge Jack Arms or the
Runway width may be necessary to assure proper
operation.
WARNING!
When removing or moving the Rolling Bridge Jack
from shipping pallet pay close attention as the Jack
may move and can cause injury.
Prior to removing the strapping or bolts make sure
the Jack is held securely by a fork lift or some other
heavy lifting device.

STEP 5
(Connecting Air Supply)
Refer to page 18 if installing with the Optional Rolling
Bridge Jack Airline Kit.
1. Remove the thread protector from the air inlet of the
Pump. Select and install the threaded fittings (not
supplied) which are compatible with your air supply
fittings. The air supply should be 20 CFM / 57 M3/MIN)
and 100 PSI (7 BAR) to obtain the rated hydraulic pressure.
Air Supply should be regulated to a maximum of 125 PSI (8.6
BAR) (See Fig. 5.1)
2. An appropriate air line regulator, water separator and
lubricator should be installed on the Air Supply line. The
absence of these items will void the warranty on pneumatic
components. (See Fig. 5.2)
STEP 6
(Start Up / Final Adjustments)
1. Raise the Jack WITHOUT a vehicle to check for proper
operation of the Rolling Bridge Jack.
2. Depress the Pedal on the lifting end to raise the Jack
through the full range of the Jack. (See Fig. 6.1)
Under certain circumstances it may be necessary to prime
the Air Hydraulic Pump Unit. Refer to the manual that came
with the pump for these instructions.
3. Lower the Jack onto the nearest Safety Stop Pin. When
the Jack is loaded with a vehicle make sure the Jack is
resting on the Safety Stop Pin prior to performing any work
on the vehicle. (See Fig. 6.2)
DANGER!
THE AIR SUPPLY SHOULD BE TO
20 CFM (.57 M3/MIN.) AND 100 PSI (7 BAR).
AIR SUPPLY SHOULD BE REGULATED TO A
MAXIMUM OF 125 PSI (8.6 BAR)
DANGER!
DISCONNECT AND / OR RELEASE THE PRESSURE
FROM THE AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM / HOSES BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY INSTALLATION OR MAINTENANCE
OF THE AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM.
DANGER!
VISUALLY CONFIRM THAT ALL PRIMARY
SAFETY LOCKS ARE ENGAGED BEFORE
ENTERING WORK AREA.
Suspension components used on this Jack are
intended to raise and lower the Jack only and are not
meant to be load holding devices. Remain clear of
elevated Jack unless visual confirmation is made that
all primary Safety Locks are fully engaged and
the lift is LOWERED onto the Safety Locks.
Refer to installation /operation manual for proper
Safety Lock procedures and /or further instruction.

the vehicle by referring to the manufacture’s specification or
an approved lifting guide.
5. Check and keep clean the Utility Rails channels
clean of debris, tools, or other objects that may hinder the
movement of the Rolling Jacks.
6. Adjust the Rolling Jack Arms so that the lift pads will
make contact with the appropriate lifting points on the
vehicle as specified by the manufacturer of the vehicle.
(See Fig. 7.1)
7. Raise the Rolling Bridge Jack by pushing on the
Raise end of the pedal of Air Hydraulic pump. Keep an
eye on the jack as the Lift pads make contact with the
vehicle to ensure that proper contact is maintained as the
weight of the vehicle is supported by the Jack.
8. Stop raising the jack just as the vehicle is raised off
the lift runways. Confirm the vehicle is stable and properly
seated before lifting the vehicle to the final desired height.
WARNING!
NEVER USE MORE THAN 5 INCHES OF
LIFT PAD ADAPTER HEIGHT.

Safe Lift Operation
Automotive and truck lifts are critical to the operation and profitability of your business. The safe use of this and other
lifts in your shop is critical in preventing employee injuries and damage to customer’s vehicles. By operating lifts safely
you can insure that your shop is profitable, productive and safe.
Safe operation of automotive lifts requires that only trained employees should be allowed to use the lift.
TRAINING SHOULD INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
Proper positioning of the vehicle on the runway. (See manufacturers minimize wheel base loading requirements.)
Use of the operating controls.
Understanding the lift capacity.
Proper use of jack stands or other load supporting devices.
Proper use, understanding and visual identification of safety lock devices and their operation.
