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 “low­est” 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.

10

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)

Fig 3.1

(If not bolting lift to the floor, skip to Item 3.)

3. Using a forklift or crane, raise the cross tubes (put
the Slide Blocks into position first) and then drop the cross

CAUTION!

IF YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY FAMILIAR WITH AU-

TOMOTIVE LIFT MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES; STOP

AND CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER FOR INSTRUC-

TIONS. TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY, PERMIT ONLY

QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE

ON THIS EQUIPMENT.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

1. Make a visual inspection of ALL MOVING PARTS and
check for excessive signs of wear.

2. Check safety locks to ensure they are in good operat­ing condition.

3. Check cables and sheaves for wear. Replace worn
parts as required with genuine BendPak parts.

4. Inspect adapters for damage or excessive wear. Re­place as required with genuine BendPak parts.

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

1. Lubricate all Sheave and rollers with general
purpose oil.

• Refer to ANSI/ALI ALOIM booklet for periodic
inspection checklist and maintenance log sheet.

2. Check all Cable connections, bolts and pins to
ensure proper mounting.

3. Lubricate Safety Lock pivot points with general pur­pose oil or WD-40.

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

1. Check Safety Locks to ensure they are in good

operating condition. Lubricate locking latch shafts. Push
release arm several times for oil to penetrate pivot
points.

2. Check equalizer cable tension. Adjust per lift installa­tion instructions.

3. Check all Cables for excessive signs of wear.

4. Make a visual inspection of ALL MOVING PARTS
and check for excessive signs of wear.

33

WIRE ROPE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

t Lifting cables should be replaced every three to five years or when visible signs of damage are apparent. DO NOT
USE LIFT WITH DEFECTIVE / WORN CABLES.

t Lifting cables should be maintained in a well-lubricated condition at all times. Wire rope is only fully protected when each
wire strand is lubricated both internally and externally. Excessive wear will shorten the life of the wire rope. The factory sug­gested wire rope lubricant that penetrates to the core of the rope and provides long-term lubrication between each individual
strand is 90-WT gear oil or ALMASOL® Wire Rope Lubricant. In order to make sure that the inner layers of the rope remain
well lubricated, lubrication should be carried out at intervals not exceeding three months during operation.

t All sheaves and guide rollers in contact with the moving rope should be given regular visual checks for surface wear
and lubricated to make sure that they run freely. This operation should be carried out at appropriate intervals generally not
exceeding three months during operation. For all sheave axles, the factory recommends standard wheel bearing grease.
For all sheaves and/or guide rollers, the factory recommends 90-WT gear oil or similar heavy lubricant applied by any
method including pump / spray dispensing, brush, hand and/or swabbing.

.

HOW OFTEN TO INSPECT

t Lifting cables should be visually inspected at least once each day when in use, as suggested by American Petroleum

Institute (API) RP54 guidelines.

t Any lifting cable that has met the criteria for removal from service must be immediately replaced.

WHEN TO REPLACE LIFTING CABLES DUE TO BROKEN WIRES

t Lifting cables should be removed from service when you see six randomly distributed broken wires within any one lay
length, or three broken wires in one strand within one lay length.

OTHER REASONS TO REPLACE LIFTING CABLES

t Corrosion that pits the wires and/or connectors.
t Evidence of kinking, crushing, cutting, bird-caging or a popped core.
t Wear that exceeds 10% of a wire’s original diameter.
t Evidence of heat damage.

HOW TO FIND BROKEN WIRES

t The first step is to relax your rope to a stationary position and move the pick-up points off the sheaves. Clean the
surface of the rope with a cloth — a wire brush, if necessary — so you can see any breaks.

t Flex the rope to expose any broken wires hidden in the valleys between the strands.

t Visually check for any broken wires. One way to check for crown breaks is to run a cloth along the rope to check for

possible snags.

t With an awl, probe between wires and strands and lift any wires that appear loose. Evidence of internal broken wires
may require a more extensive rope examination.

34

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:

t Proper positioning of the vehicle on the runway. (See manufacturers minimize wheel base loading requirements.)

t Use of the operating controls.

t Understanding the lift capacity.

t Proper use of jack stands or other load supporting devices.

t Proper use, understanding and visual identification of safety lock devices and their operation.

t Reviewing the safety rules.

t Proper housekeeping procedures (lift area should be free of grease, oil, tools, equipment, trash, and other debris)

t A daily inspection of the lift should be completed prior to its use. Safety devices, operating controls, lift arms and

other critical parts should be inspected prior to using the lift.

t All maintenance and repairs of the lift should be completed by following the manufacturer’s requirements. Lift repair

parts should meet or exceed OEM specifications. Repairs should only be completed by a qualified lift technician.

t The vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations should be used for spotting and lifting the vehicle.

LIFT OPERATION SAFETY

t It is important that you know the load limit. Be careful that you do not overload the lift . If you are unsure what the
load limit is, check the data plate found on one of the lift columns or contact the manufacturer.

t The center of gravity should be followed closely to what the manufacturer recommends.

t Always make sure you have proper overhead clearance. Additionally, check that attachments, (vehicle signs,

campers, antennas, etc.) are not in the way.

t Be sure that prior to the vehicle being raised, the doors, trunk, and hood are closed securely

t Prior to being raised, make sure there is no one standing closer than six feet from the lift

t After positioning the vehicle on the lift runways, set the emergency brake, make sure the ignition is off, the doors are

closed, overhead obstructions are cleared, and the transmission is in neutral.

t Double check that the automatic chock devices are in position and then when the lift is raised, observe the chocks

t Put pads or adapters in the right position under the contact points that have been recommended

t The lift should be raised just until the vehicle’s wheels are about one foot off the ground. If contact with the vehicle is

uneven or it appears that the vehicle is not sitting secure, carefully lower the lift and readjust.

t Always consider potential problems that might cause a vehicle to slip, i.e., heavy cargo, undercoating, etc.

t Pay attention when walking under a vehicle that is up on the hydraulic lift.

35

Safe Lift Operation (Cont’d)

t DO NOT leave the controls while the lift is still in motion.

t DO NOT stand directly in front of the vehicle or in the bay when vehicle is being loaded or driven into position.

t DO NOT Go near vehicle or attempt to work on the vehicle when being raised or lowered.

t REMAIN CLEAR of lift when raising or lowering vehicle.

t DO NOT rock the vehicle while on the lift or remove any heavy component from vehicle that may cause excessive

weight shift.

t DO NOT lower the vehicle until people, materials, and tools are clear

t ALWAYS INSURE that the safeties are engaged and lowered on to the safety ladders before any attempt is made to work

on or near vehicle.

t Some vehicle maintenance and repair activities may cause the vehicle to shift. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines

when performing these operations. The use of jack stands or alternate lift points may be required when completing
some repairs.

t READ AND UNDERSTAND all safety warning procedures before operating lift.

t KEEP HANDS AND FEET CLEAR. Remove hands and feet from any moving parts. Keep feet clear of lift when lowering.

Avoid pinch points.

t ONLY TRAINED OPERATORS should operate this lift. All non-trained personnel should be kept away from work area.
Never let non-trained personnel come in contact with, or operate lift.

t USE LIFT CORRECTLY. Use lift in the proper manner. Never use lifting adapters other than what is approved by the
manufacturer.

t DO NOT override self-closing lift controls.

t CLEAR AREA if vehicle is on danger of falling.

t STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Be aware.

t CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts or any condition that may

affect its operation. Do not use lift if any component is broken or damaged.

t NEVER remove safety related components from the lift. Do not use lift if safety related components are damaged or
missing.

t When the lift is being lowered, make sure everyone is standing at least six feet away.
