Receiving:
The shipment should be thoroughly inspected as soon as it is
received. The signed bill of lading is acknowledgement by the
carrier of receipt in good condition of shipment covered by
your invoice. If any of the goods called for on this bill of lading
are shorted or damaged, do not accept them until the carrier
makes a notation on the freight bill of the shorted or damaged
goods. Do this for your own protection.
NOTIFY THE CARRIER AT ONCE if any hidden loss or
damage is discovered after receipt and request the carrier
to make an inspection. If the carrier will not do so, 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 CLEAR
RECEIPT. File your 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 BendPak
responsible for collection of claims or replacement of lost or

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 dur-
ing 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

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 floor
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 floor.
a. Mark locations where lift columns will be posi-
tioned in bay.
b. Place target on floor at column positions (NOT on
column base plates) and record readings.
c. Find the highest of the four locations. Find the
difference between the readings at each of the
remaining three columns and the highest reading.
d. The difference 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, floor slope can be determined by
using a chalk line and level.

The power unit will be located at “X” location shown below. It is important to locate the
POWER SIDE runway (with cylinder) on the SAME SIDE as the power unit location.
Note the location of the bulkhead fitting holes in the POWER SIDE runway.
Utility rails on the side of each runway MUST be installed to the inside.
POWER UNIT LOCATION

STEP 3
(Column & Cross Tube Installation)
1. Place a chalk line on the floor according to the floor plan
layout. Pay attention to the Power Unit location. Locate and
stand the Columns at their respective locations. DO NOT
BOLT columns down at this time. Use caution to prevent the
Columns from falling over. (See Fig. 3.1)
2. To estimate the shim requirements, place a target on floor at
each Column position and record the readings. Find the high-
est of the four locations then find the difference between each
of the remaining Columns. This difference is the
estimated amount of shim thickness that will be required at
each Column. (See Fig. 3.2 )
Note: The maximum shim thickness recommended by the fac-
tory is no more than 1/2” per Column using shims and anchors
provided with the lift. A maximum shim thickness of 2” is pos-
sible by ordering optional shim plates. Contact your authorized
BendPak Distributor for ordering information.
3. Using a forklift or crane, raise the Cross tubes (making sure
the Plastic Slide Blocks and Buttons are still in position) and
drop down into the top of the Columns. NOTE: The Large
Sheave Window should be positioned inward and adjacent the
Power Unit Column. (See Fig. 3.3)
ENSURE THAT THE FRONT POST UPPER
AND LOWER SLIDE BLOCKS AND BUTTON
SLIDES ARE IN POSITION AS SHOWN
BEFORE PROCEEDING.
4. With the Columns standing and the cross tubes in
position, install the Safety Ladders. Pass the ladders
through the Column openings and drop down through the
Slide Block guide slots on the Cross Tube until the Ladders
come to rest on the Base Plates. DO NOT BOLT Columns
down at this time. (See Fig. 3.4 - 3.5)

5. The Columns and Cross Tubes will now be in position
and spaced properly for the Runways.
6. Install the Column TOP CAPS using the M10 X 1.50
X 50 hex bolts, nuts & washers. Install the nut on each
Safety Ladder until 1/2” of threads are exposed and the
ladder is raised at least 1/2” off of the base of the Column.
NOTE: Raise the ladder at least 1/2” off of the base of
the column or damage to the lift will occur. Be sure to
position the cable hole INWARD. (See Fig. 3.6 -3.7)
STEP 4
(Anchoring The Columns)
1. Before proceeding, double check the measurements and
make certain that the Bases of each Column are square and
aligned with the chalk line. (See Fig. 4.1)
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES
2. Using the Base Plate on each Column as a guide, drill each
anchor hole approximately 4-1/2” deep using a rotary hammer drill
and 3/4” concrete bit.. (See Fig. 4.2)
3. After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole using
compressed air and/or bristle brush. Make certain that the
Columns remain aligned with the chalk line.
4. Assemble the Washers and Nuts on the Anchors then tap
into each hole with a hammer until the Washer rests against
the Base Plate. Be sure that if shimming is required, enough
threads are left exposed. (See Fig. 4.3)

5. If shimming is required, insert the Shims as necessary
under the Base Plate so that when the Anchor bolts are tight-
ened, the Columns will be plumb. (See Fig. 4.4)
6. After any necessary Shims are installed, tighten each
anchor nut three to five turns past finger tight. (See Fig. 4.5)
IMPORTANT - If Anchor Bolts do not hold when torqued to
required amount, concrete must be replaced. Saw cut and
remove 24” x 24” square area under each Column base then
re-pour with reinforced 2500 PSI concrete to a depth of six
inches minimum, keying new concrete under existing floor.
STEP 5
(Raising The Cross Tubes)
1. Before proceeding it will be necessary to first raise the
Cross Tubes off the ground to facilitate Cable routing and
final assembly.
ENSURE THAT THE FRONT POST UPPER AND LOWER
SLIDE BLOCKS ARE ORIENTED AS SHOWN IN FIGURE
3.3 ON PAGE 12. BEFORE PROCEEDING.
2. Manually raise the Cross Tubes until the primary Safety Locks
engage and rest on the lock position second down from the top
of the ladder or approximately 66” off the ground. It is impor-
tant that the SLACK SAFETY LOCK IS CLEARED. The Slack
Safety Lock must never rest on the Safety Ladder. (See Fig. 5.1)
3. The Columns and Cross Tubes will now be in position
and spaced properly for the Runways. (See Fig. 5.2)
IMPORTANT NOTE
It is important that the SLACK SAFETY LOCK IS CLEARED.
