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.

Components
The main components of your Lift include:
•Power Post. The Post that holds the Power Unit.
The Power Post can be in either of two
locations
. You can tell the Power Post from the other Posts because it has two Mounting
Brackets on it. Mount the Power Unit on one of the two Mounting Brackets.
•The other three Posts. These Posts are functionally interchangeable; their Labels are different.
•Power Unit. An electric/hydraulic unit that connects to an electric power source and then
provides hydraulic power to the Hydraulic Cylinder that raises and lowers the Runways.
•Lifting Cables. The two Runways are lifted by .4 inch / 10 mm thick aircraft-quality steel wire
rope, each of which is rated at 14,400 pounds.
•Boat Trailer Tongue Platform (TC-3000 model). Sits between the Runways, holds the front
wheel of your boat trailer.
•Powerside Runway. The Runway next to the Power Post. The Powerside Runway has Lifting
Cables and the Hydraulic Cylinder on its underside. You
must put the Powerside Runway next to
the Power Post.
•Offside Runway. The other Runway. It does not have a Hydraulic Cylinder or Lifting Cables
under it.
•Utility Rails. Hold the optional Rolling Jacks. Utility Rails
must go on the inside of the Lift.
•Crosstubes. One at each end of the Lift. The Crosstubes are hollow; the Lifting Cables that raise
and lower the Runways are routed through the Crosstubes. The Crosstubes are not the same:
each Crosstube has an opening (called a Window) that faces the inside (orienting the Windows
correctly is described in the Installation section).
Windows must be installed so that they
open to the inside of the Lift
. Lifting Cables go into the Crosstubes through the Windows.
•Ramps. One for each Runway. Use them to drive onto and off of the Runways. By definition, the
Ramp end of the Lift is also the Rear of the Lift.
•Tire Stops. Located at the Front of the Lift, Tire Stops prevent the Vehicle’s front tires from going
any further forward. Additionally, we strongly recommend chocking the Vehicle’s rear tires.
•Safety Locks. Once engaged, they hold the Runways in position, even if the power goes out or
there is a leak in the Hydraulic Hoses.
Only leave your Lift on the ground or engaged on
a Safety Lock.
•Pushbutton Air Valve. Includes a Pushbutton that moves the Safety Locks away from the
Ladder so that they do not engage as you lower the Runways. Used only to lower the Runways.
•Ladder. A piece of steel that gets installed at the back of each Post.

1 The Lift supports less weight than its rated capacity when the Vehicle’s wheelbase is shorter; this is
because the wheels are closer to the middle of the Runways, where there is less strength. For example,
the maximum weight allowed on the Lift for a Vehicle with a wheelbase of 95" is 50 percent of the Lift’s
rated capacity (or 3,750 lbs when the rated capacity is 7,500 lbs).
Specifications subject to change without notice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What kinds of Vehicles can I put on my Lift?
Answer: Cars, trucks, SUVs; anything that fits on the Runways, up to 7,500 lbs (3,402 kg).
Q: How long does it take to raise or lower my Lift with a Vehicle on it?
A: About 45 to 55 seconds, depending on your model. Longer if there is no weight on it.
Q: Does the Lift have a Front and a Rear?
A: Yes. For a Four-Post Lift, the end
opposite the Ramps is the Front; the end with the Ramps is
the Rear.
Q: Do I have to put my Power Unit in a particular location?
A: Yes. Your Power Post (the Post the holds the Power Unit) must be located at either the Driver-
Side Front or the Passenger-Side Rear of the Lift. More on this later.
Q: Does the Lift have to be anchored in place?
A: Yes. BendPak strongly recommends that you anchor the Lift; it may be less stable if you do not
anchor the Bases.
Q: How high does the ceiling have to be?
A: It depends on the height of the Vehicle you are putting on the Runways and how high you raise
the Runways. If you are going to put a tall Vehicle or Boat on the Lift and raise it all the way up,
you should check to make sure there is enough room.
Q: Does it matter if I drive my Vehicles in front first or back them in?
A: We recommend driving your Vehicle in front first, because that makes it easier to center the
wheels on the Runways. But it is up to you; the Lift works great either way. Also, remember to put
the Front wheels up against the Tire Stops and chock the Rear wheels.
Q: Will the Lifting Cables really hold my Vehicle?
A: Yes. Each Lifting Cable is .4 inch thick, aircraft-quality steel
wire rope .
Q: Do I need an Air Supply?
A: Yes. An Air Supply (3 to 25 cfm at 50 to 150 psi) is required to disengage the Safety Locks when
you want to lower the Lift. Regulate the line to a maximum pressure of 150 psi; the Air Lines could
burst or the Safety Locks malfunction at pressure over 150 psi.
Q: How long can I leave a Vehicle on a raised Runway?
A: As long as you want. Once the Lift is engaged on a Safety Lock, gravity holds it in position, so a
loss of power or a leaking Hydraulic Hose does not impact it; it is going to stay where you left it.
Only leave your Lift either fully lowered or engaged on Safety Locks .
Q: Can I install my Lift outside?
A: No. Your Lift is approved for indoor installation and use only.
Outdoor installation is
prohibited
.

Installation
The installation process takes multiple steps. Perform them in the order listed.
Read the entire Installation section before beginning the install ; this gives you a better
understanding of the process as a whole.
⚠WARNING Only use the factory-supplied parts that came with your Lift . If you use
parts from a different source, you void your warranty and compromise the safety of
everyone who installs or uses the Lift. If you are missing parts, visit
bendpak.com/support or call [phone], extension 191.
Being Safe
While installing this equipment, your safety depends on proper training and thoughtful operation.
⚠WARNING Do not install this equipment unless you have automotive Lift installation training.
Always use proper lifting tools, such as a Forklift or Shop Crane, to move heavy
components. Do not install this equipment without reading and understanding this
manual and the safety labels on the unit.
Only fully trained personnel should be involved in installing this equipment. Pay attention at all times.
Use appropriate tools and lifting equipment. Stay clear of moving parts.
BendPak recommends referring to the current version of the ANSI/ALI ALIS Standard Safety
Requirements for Installation and Service for more information about safely installing, using, and
servicing your Lift.
⚠WARNING You must wear appropriate protective equipment at all times during installation:
gloves, steel-toe work boots, eye protection, back belts, and hearing protection.
Tools
You may need some or all of the following tools:
•Rotary hammer drill (or similar)
•¾ inch carbide bit (conforming to ANSI B212.15)
•Hammer, crow bar, and two sawhorses
•Four-foot level and 12-foot ladder

HD-7500 Series Four-Post Lifts 13 P/N 5900174 — Rev. C — March 2021
Planning for Electrical Work
You will need to have a licensed, certified Electrician available at some point during the installation.
⚠DANGER All electrical work must be performed by a licensed, certified Electrician.
Notify your Electrician in advance so that they come prepared with appropriate components for
connecting to the power source, a Power Disconnect Switch, and a Thermal Disconnect Switch. Refer
to Contacting the Electrician for more information.
Your Electrician needs to:
•Connect the Power Unit to an electric power source. An electric power source is
required. The Power Unit comes with a Pigtail for wiring to a power source. Have your Electrician
connect a power cord with appropriate plug to the electrical box on the Lift (for connection to a
power outlet) or have them wire it directly into the electrical system at the Lift location.
Note that installing the Power Unit and connecting the Power Unit to the power source are
separate procedures and are done at different times in the installation process. You do
not need
an Electrician to install the Power Unit, but an Electrician is
required to connect the Power Unit to
the power source.
•Install a Power Disconnect Switch. This switch ensures you can quickly and completely
interrupt electrical power to the Lift in the event of an electrical circuit fault, emergency situation, or
when equipment is undergoing service or maintenance. Put it within sight and reach of the Lift
operator.
•Install a Thermal Disconnect Switch. This switch ensures the equipment shuts down in the
event of an overload or an overheated motor.
Note: These components are not supplied with the Lift.

HD-7500 Series Four-Post Lifts 14 P/N 5900174 — Rev. C — March 2021
Selecting a Power Post Location
You need to pick a Power Post location now, near the beginning of the installation process, as its
location impacts other aspects of the installation.
You have two options for Power Post location: Driver-Side Front or Passenger-Side Rear.
Note: The Power Post location decision has no impact on the Approach direction or where the
Front and Rear of the Lift are. It does impact other aspects of the installation, however.
Drawing not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown. Powerside Runway (which has the
Hydraulic Cylinder under it)
must be installed next to the Power Post, no matter which Power Post
location you choose.
Most customers choose their Power Post location based on either preference (one option makes more
sense for their shop than the other does) or easier access to the power source.

HD-7500 Series Four-Post Lifts 15 P/N 5900174 — Rev. C — March 2021
Checking Clearances
For safety purposes, a certain amount of clear space around the Lift is required .
Drawing is a top view. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.

HD-7500 Series Four-Post Lifts 16 P/N 5900174 — Rev. C — March 2021
Selecting a Location
When selecting the location for your Lift, consider:
•Architectural plans. Consult the architectural plans for your desired installation location. Make
sure there are no issues between what you want to do and what the plans show.
•Available space. Make sure there is enough space for the Lift: front, back, sides, and
above .
Refer to Specifications for measurements.
•Overhead obstructions. Check for overhead obstructions such as building supports, heaters,
electrical lines, low ceilings, hanging lights, and so on.
You do not want the Vehicles on the
Lift hitting obstructions
.
•Side and front clearances. You must leave room around the Lift. Leave at least six feet (72
inches / 1.8 meters) clear on both sides and the front of the Lift, and no obstructions at all at the
Rear of the Lift (so you can safely drive Vehicles onto the Runways).
•Power. You need an appropriate power source for the Power Unit.
•Outdoor installations. Your Lift is approved for indoor installation and use
only .
•Floor. Only install the Lift on a flat, Concrete floor; do not install on asphalt or any other surface.
The surface must be level; do not install if the surface has more than three degrees of slope.
⚠WARNING Installing your Lift on a surface with more than three degrees of slope could lead to
injury or even death. Only install the Lift on a level floor. If your floor is not level,
consider making the floor level or using a different location.
•Shimming. If your Concrete floor is not completely level, you can use Shims under the bases of
the Posts, as needed, to level the Lift.
To estimate your Shim requirements, use a transit level and targets to check for flatness. Use the
provided Shims as necessary.
NOTICE Do not shim a Post more than half an inch using the provided Shims and Anchor Bolts.
A maximum shim of 2 inches is possible by ordering optional Shim Plates. Contact
BendPak at [phone], extension 191 to order.
•Concrete specifications. Do not install the Lift on cracked or defective Concrete. Make sure
the Concrete is at least 4.25 inches thick, 3,000 PSI, and cured for a minimum of 28 days. Do not
install Anchor Bolts within six inches of cracks, expansion joints, or other defects in the Concrete.
⚠CAUTION BendPak lifts are supplied with installation instructions and Concrete anchors that
meet the criteria set by the current version of the American National Standard
“Automotive Lifts – Safety Requirements for Construction, Testing, and Validation”,
ANSI/ALI ALCTV. You are responsible for any special regional structural and/or
seismic anchoring requirements specified by any other agencies and/or codes such
as the Uniform Building Code (UBC) and/or International Building Code (IBC).
Be sure to check your Concrete floor for the possibility of it being a
post-tension slab . In this
case, you must contact the building architect before drilling. Using ground penetrating radar may
help you find the tensioned steel.
⚠WARNING Cutting through a tensioned cable can result in injury or death. Do not drill into a
post-tension slab unless the building architect confirms you are not going to hit
tensioned steel or you have located it using ground penetrating radar.
If colored
sheath comes up during drilling, stop drilling immediately
.

HD-7500 Series Four-Post Lifts 17 P/N 5900174 — Rev. C — March 2021
Unloading and Unpacking
Try to have the components of the Lift unloaded near the installation location.
Once the components are unloaded, they are your responsibility to move around. As the Lift includes a
number of heavy pieces, the closer you unload them to the installation location, the better off you are.
⚠CAUTION Some Lift components are very heavy; if handled incorrectly, they can damage
materials like tile, sandstone, and brick. Try to handle the Lift components twice:
once when delivered and once when moved into position. You must have a Forklift
or Shop Crane to move them into position. Use care when moving them.
⚠WARNING The Posts and Runways are delivered with stabilizing structures on each end. Be
very careful when removing these stabilizing structures; the Posts and Runways
can shift or even fall. If they fall on a person, they could cause serious injury.

HD-7500 Series Four-Post Lifts 18 P/N 5900174 — Rev. C — March 2021
Creating Chalk Line Guides
Create Chalk Line Guides so that the outside edges of all four Post bases fit into the four corners
created by the Chalk Line Guides.
Refer to Specifications to determine the Overall Width and
Outside Length values for your Lift.
Note: Do
not use the Overall Length value; this includes the Ramps, which are not taken into
consideration for creating Chalk Line Guides.
Drawing is a top view. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.
To create Chalk Line Guides:
1. Create the Front Chalk Line where you want the Front of the Lift.
Make the Front Chalk Line longer, by 12 inches on each end, than the Overall Width setting.
2. Create the two side Chalk Lines at 90° angles to the Front Chalk Line and parallel to each other.
Make the side Chalk Lines longer (by 12 inches on each end) than the Outside Length setting.
The Side Chalk Lines
must be parallel to each other.
Measure to verify that they are parallel.
3. Create the Rear Chalk Line parallel to the Front Chalk Line. Make the Rear Chalk Line longer than
the Overall Width setting for your Lift model.
The Front and Rear Chalk Lines
must also be parallel to each other.
Measure to verify that they are parallel.
4. Before moving the Posts into position, measure
diagonally to make sure the two diagonal
measurements are the same.
Do not forget to check the diagonals.
5. When you move the Posts into position, put the outside edges of the bases inside the corners
created by the Chalk Line Guides.

Moving the Posts into Position
Use a Forklift or Shop Crane to move the Posts. You need to have at least two people work
together to stand up the Posts.
⚠DANGER The Posts are heavy and awkward; be very careful when handling them. If they fall
on a person, they will cause injury.
To move the Posts into position:
1. Using a Forklift or Shop Crane, move the four Posts, one at a time, to the inside corners of the
Chalk Line Guides.
Important: Position the Power Post at the location you chose earlier. The other three Posts can go
at any of the remaining Post locations.
2. Stand up each Post.
Have
at least two people work together to stand up a Post.
⚠WARNING Be very careful when walking around the Posts; they are not anchored down at this
point, so it is possible to knock them over, which could cause significant injury.
3.
Do not anchor the Posts at this point .
You may or may not be anchoring the Posts at all, depending on whether or not you are going to
be using the optional Caster Kit. But even if you are planning on anchoring the Posts eventually,
do not anchor the Posts now.

Installing the Crosstubes
Your Lift has two Crosstubes; they are similar, but not the same :
•One with Two
Large Windows: This Crosstube has two Large Windows. Must be installed
at the Pull Box end of the Powerside Runway.
•One with Two
Small Windows: This Crosstube as two Small Windows. Must be installed
adjacent to the Power Post.
Both Crosstubes are hollow, which allows the Lifting Cables to be run through them to the Posts.
Tip It is possible to install the Crosstubes incorrectly in several different ways. Take your
time and get it right the first time.
Both Crosstubes
must be installed so that the Windows open to the inside of the Lift.
Important: Your Power Post location impacts Crosstube installation. The Crosstube with two Small
Windows
must be installed next to the Power Post. The location of the Ramps do not
come into play when determining where the Crosstubes get installed.
Crosstubes
must be installed so that their Windows are on the Powerside Runway side of the Lift.
The following drawing shows the two Crosstube setups based on Power Post location.
Top view. Drawing not to scale. Some components not shown. The location of the Ramps does not
change based on Power Post location, but the Powerside Runway and Crosstube locations do.
Windows are in the Crosstubes; they are shown here at the ends of the Powerside Runway for clarity.
