BEFORE YOU BEGIN

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 notied the
carrier (on a specic 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 damaged materials.

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 tting clothing should be
avoided. Tight tting 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. Everyday eyeglasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
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.

38

38

WIRE ROPE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

t Lifting cables should be replaced every three - ve 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 internal and external. 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 cables that have met the criteria for removal 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 rst 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.

Safe Lift Operation

It is your responsibility to operate your lift safely.

Lift training should include, but not be limited to, the following:

• Proper positioning of the vehicle on the lift arms. (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 identication of safety lock devices and their operation.

• Reviewing the safety rules.

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

• 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.

• All maintenance and repairs of the lift should be completed by following the manufacturer’s requirements. Lift repair
parts should meet or exceed OEM specications. Repairs should only be completed by a qualied lift technician.

• The vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations should be used for spotting and lifting the vehicle.

Other important safety rules include:

• It is important that you know the load limit. Never overload the lift. If you are unsure what the load limit is, check the
data plate found on one of the Lift Posts or contact the manufacturer.

• Make sure any vehicle you put onto the lift is balanced. Always use the manufacturer’s recommended lifting points.

• Always make sure you have proper overhead clearance. Additionally, check that attachments (vehicle signs, campers,
antennas, etc.) are not in the way.

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

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

• 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.

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

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

• 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.

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

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