P/N 5900010 — Rev. B — June 2022

Troubleshooting

This section describes how to troubleshoot your Lift.

Note

: If your Lift is not functioning correctly, you must take it out of service until it is fixed.

Important

: All repair work

must

be done by qualified personnel.

Issue

Action to Take

Platforms move erratically
or squeak when in use.

Move the Platforms up and down a few times, with a break between
each; there could be residual air in the Hydraulic System. The

Hydraulic Cylinders are self-bleeding.

Platforms are stuck in the
up position and will not

lower with the Vehicle on

the Lift.

Verify the Power Unit is being supplied electrical power and that none
of the Hydraulic Hoses are pinched or leaking.
Verify there is sufficient Hydraulic Fluid in the Reservoir on the Power

Unit.

Contact BendPak Service

, or call

(800) 253-2363

, extension 196.

Hydraulic Fluid is old or

dirty.

Replace the dirty fluid with clean, approved Hydraulic Fluids, such as

Dexron III, Dexron VI, Mercon V, Mercon LV, Shell Tellus S4 / S3 / S2,

or comparable.

Platforms make odd noises
when in use.

Lubricate hinge points using white lithium grease.
Lubricate the Platforms where the Slide Blocks travel using White

Lithium Grease.

Platforms are slowly
lowering on their own.

Make sure both Platforms are on Safety Locks (if not, Hydraulic Fluid
is being pushed back into the reservoir, lowering the Platforms).

Only

leave the Lift either fully lowered or engaged on a Safety Lock.

If you continue to have problems with your Lift, contact your dealer, visit

Vehicles with No Tires – Fully Lowered

When the SP-7XE Series Lift is completely flat with a vehicle directly on the Platforms, there is no room
to develop any mechanical upward force. The weight on the Lift must be reduced by at least half or
raise the Vehicle off the Lift Platform or Lift Pads in some other manner.
Methods that have resolved this issue include:

•

Use a floor jack to raise the Vehicle from
4 to 6 inches.

•

Using lifting equipment to raise the
Vehicle. If you are still unable to raise

your Vehicle, contact BendPak Technical
Support for assistance.
