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
the technician’s hands when handling parts. Sturdy leath-
er steel-toe work shoes 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 installa-
tion and operation activities. Safety glass-
es 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.

CLEARANCES
1. Lift Location: Use architects plan and Engineers
automatic level (transit) when available to locate lift. The
above shows clearances of a typical bay layout. Lift oor
area should be level.
2. Ceiling or overhead clearance must be 80” plus height
of tallest vehicle.
3. Estimating Column Shim requirements:
In the following section, the terms “highest” and “low-
est” refer to elevation of oor.
A. Mark locations where lift columns will be posi-
tioned in bay.
B. Place target on oor at column positions (NOT
on column base plates) and record readings.
C. Find the highest of the four locations. Find the
di󰀨erence between the readings at each of the re-
maining three columns and the highest reading.
D. The di󰀨erence is the estimated amount of shim
thickness needed at each column.
Note: Maximum shim thickness is 1/2” per column using
shims and anchors provided with lift.
If no transit is available, oor slope can be determined by
using a chalk line and level.

11
STEP 3
(Post & Crosstube Installation)
1. Place a chalk line on the floor according to the floor
plan layout. Pay attention to the Power Unit location.
Locate and place the posts at their respective locations.
DO NOT BOLT the posts down at this time. Use caution
to prevent the posts from falling over.
(See Fig. 3.1)
(If not bolting lift to the floor, skip to Item 3.)
2. To estimate the shim requirements, place a target on
floor at each post position and record the readings. Find
the highest of the four locations then find the difference
between each of the remaining posts. This difference
is the estimated amount of shim thickness that will be
required at each post. (See Fig. 3.2)
3. Using a forklift or crane, raise the cross tubes (put
the Slide Blocks into position first) and then drop the cross
tubes down into the top of the posts. NOTE: The Sheave
Windows must be positioned inward and adjacent to the
Power Unit Post. (See Fig. 3.3)
4. With the posts standing and the cross tubes in posi-
tion, install the Safety Ladders. Pass the ladders through
the post openings and drop down through the Slide Block
guide slots on the crosstubes until the ladders come to
rest on the base plates. If bolting, DO NOT BOLT posts
down at this time. (See Fig. 3.4)

NOTE:
THE MAXIMUM SHIM THICKNESS RECOMMENDED
BY THE FACTORY IS NO MORE THAN 1/2” PER
COLUMN USING SHIMS AND ANCHORS PROVIDED
WITH THE LIFT. A MAXIMUM SHIM THICKNESS OF
2” IS POSSIBLE BY ORDERING OPTIONAL SHIM
PLATES. CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED BENDPAK

STEP 5
(Power Side Ramp Installation)
1. Locate the POWER SIDE RAMP easily identified by
the cylinder and sheaves assembled in the ramp or the
sheave roller mounting plates welded on the underside.
The Power Side Ramp will be positioned on the side of
the lift where the Power Unit is installed. (See Fig. 5.1)
2. Check that the cylinder ports are facing away from
the utility rail side of the Power Side Ramp. (See Fig 5.1)
3. Remove any pre-installed CABLE SHEAVES from the
POWER SIDE RAMP making sure to and pay attention
to the order in which they are removed. (This will help at
the time of re-installation.) First remove the Socket Head
Cap Screw, then press the sheave axle through the ramp
completely until the sheaves are removed. (See Fig. 5.2)
4. Position the POWER SIDE RAMP on top of the cross-
tubes with the UTILITY RAIL towards the center. Align the
holes in the ramp with the holes on the crosstubes and
bolt together using four M12 x 1.75 hex bolts, nuts, and
