Shipping Information

Your equipment was carefully checked before shipping. Nevertheless, you should thoroughly inspect

the shipment

before

you sign to acknowledge that you received it.

When you sign the bill of lading, it tells the carrier that the items on the invoice were received in good

condition.

Do not sign the bill of lading until

after

you have inspected the shipment.

If any of the

items listed on the bill of lading are missing or damaged, do not accept the shipment until the carrier

makes a notation on the bill of lading that lists the missing and/or damaged goods.

If you discover missing or damaged goods

after

you receive the shipment and have signed the bill of

lading, notify the carrier at once and request the carrier to make an inspection. If the carrier will not

make an inspection, 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 signed bill of lading. If this

happens to you, file a claim with the carrier promptly. Support your claim with copies of the bill of

lading, freight bill, invoice, and photographs. Our willingness to assist in helping you process your claim

does not make us responsible for collection of claims or replacement of lost or damaged materials.

The Lift supports less weight than its rated capacity if the Vehicle’s wheelbase is shorter; this is

because the wheels are closer to the middle of the Runways, where there is less strength.

Quatra™ Full-Rise Scissor Lift 10 P/N 5900085 — Rev. A1 — October 2019

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: How much weight can the Quatra™ Lifts raise?

Answer: They can raise Vehicles up to 12,000 pounds (5,443 kg).

Q: What is the difference between the XR-12000L and XR-12000AL models?

A: The “A” in the XR-12000AL means you can perform Vehicle alignments. Additionally, the XR-

12000AL has longer Platforms.

Q: How high does a “Full-Rise” Scissor Lift raise a Vehicle?

A: The Quatra™ Lifts can raise 75 inches (6.3 feet) off the ground.

Q: Does the Lift have to be anchored in place?

A: Yes, you

must

anchor the Lift. The Lift may be less stable if you do not anchor the Bases, and you

could void the ALI certification.

Q: Can I install my Lift outdoors?

A: No. Your Lifts are approved for indoor installation and use only. Outdoor installation is

prohibited

.

Q: Are the Left and Right Frames interchangeable?

A: No; the Utility Rails that are on the inside of the Frames must face each other.

Q: Can I put the Console on either side of the Lift?

A: The short answer is, yes. The longer answer is that the Hydraulic Hoses and Air Lines on each

Frame come pre-attached (the Right Frame has shorter Hydraulic Hoses than the Left Frame) so

the Console goes on the same side as the shorter set of Hydraulic Hoses to properly reach. If you

want the Console to be on the Left side of the Lift after the Frames are already positioned in place,

you will need to undo the two Hydraulic Hoses sticking out from the Rear of each Frame and swap

them.

Q: Which end of the Lift is the “Front”?

A: The location of the Tire Stops mark the Front of the Lift.

Q: Do I need an air supply?

A: Yes. An Air Supply

not exceeding

125 psi

is required to disengage the Safety Locks when you

want to lower the Lift.

Q: Does it matter if I drive my Vehicles in front first or back them in?

A: BendPak strongly recommends driving your Vehicle in front first, because that makes it easier to

center the Vehicle’s wheels on the Runways. Also, don’t forget to put the Front Tires up against

the Tire Stops and chock the Rear Wheels.

Q: What does a Safety Lock do?

A: Safety Locks hold the Platforms up,

once they are engaged

. Even if the Lift loses power, the

Platforms stay where they are if they were left engaged on a Safety Lock.

Only leave your Lift

either fully lowered or engaged on a Safety Lock.

Quatra™ Full-Rise Scissor Lift 13 P/N 5900085 — Rev. A1 — October 2019

Planning for Electrical Work

You will need to have a licensed, certified Electrician available at some point during the installation.

⚠ DANGER All electrical work

must

be performed by a licensed, certified Electrician.

Notify your Electrician in advance so that they come prepared with appropriate components for

connecting to the power source, a Power Disconnect Switch, and a Thermal Disconnect Switch. Refer

to Contact your Electrician for more information.

Your Electrician needs to:

• Connect the Power Unit to an electric power source. An electric power source is

required. The Power Unit comes with a Pigtail for wiring to a power source. Have your Electrician

connect a power cord with appropriate plug to the electrical box or have them wire it directly into

the electrical system at the Lift location.

• Install a Power Disconnect Switch. A Power Disconnect Switch ensures you can quickly

and completely interrupt electrical power on the Lift in the event of an electrical circuit fault,

emergency situation, or when equipment is undergoing maintenance. Refer to Install a Power

Disconnect Switch for more information.

• Install a Thermal Disconnect Switch. A Thermal Disconnect Switch ensures that the

equipment shuts down in the event of an overload or overheated motor. Refer to Install a

Thermal Disconnect Switch for more information.

Note: These components are

not

included with the Lift.

Quatra™ Full-Rise Scissor Lift 14 P/N 5900085 — Rev. A1 — October 2019

Select a Site

Keep the following in mind when selecting a site for your Lift:

• Architectural plans. Consult the architectural plans for your desired installation location. Make

sure there are no issues between what you want to do and what the plans show.

• Enough space. Make sure there is adequate space on all sides, plus enough room above for the

Vehicles you will be raising. Refer to Checking Clearances for more information.

• No overhead obstructions. Make sure the site is free of low-hanging overhead obstructions.

• Floor. Only install the Lift on a flat, Concrete floor; do not install on asphalt or any other surface.

The surface must be level; do not install if the surface has more than three degrees of slope.

⚠ WARNING Installing your Lift on a surface with more than three degrees of slope could lead to

injury or even death. Only install the Lift on a level floor. If your floor is not level,

considering making the floor level or using a different location.

• Shimming. If your Concrete floor is not completely level, you can use Shims under the Base

Plates, as needed, to level the Lift. To estimate your Shim requirements, use a transit level and

targets to check for flatness. Use the provided Shims as necessary.

NOTICE Do not shim a Base Plate more than half an inch using the provided Shims and Anchor

Bolts. A maximum shim of 2 inches is possible by ordering Shim Plates. Contact

BendPak at (800) 253–2363, extension 191 to order.

• Concrete specifications. Do not install the Lift on cracked or defective concrete. Make sure

the concrete is at least 4.25 inches thick, 3,000 psi, and cured for at least 28 days (if newly

poured). Make sure the floor is defect-free, dry, and level. Only install the Lift on concrete.

⚠ CAUTION BendPak Lifts are supplied with installation instructions and Concrete anchors that

meet the criteria set by the current version of the American National Standard

“Automotive Lifts — Safety Requirements for Construction, Testing, and Validation”,

ANSI/ALI/ALCTV. You are responsible for any special regional structural and/or

seismic anchoring requirements specified by any other agencies and/or codes such

as the Uniform Building Code (UBC) and/or International Building Code (IBC).

Be sure to check your Concrete floor for the possibility of it being a

post-tension slab

. In this

case, you must contact the building architect before drilling. Using ground penetrating radar may

help you find the tensioned steel.

• Power. You need an appropriate power source near the Console. If you are using the Lift at 220

VAC at 60 Hz,1 Ph, use a 25 amp or greater fuse. For a 380 VAC, use a 15 amp or greater fuse.

• Operating temperature. The Lift is designed to be used between temperatures of 41º to 104ºF

(5º to 40ºC).

• Outdoor installation. All Lift models are approved for indoor installation and use only. Outdoor

installation is prohibited.

• Second floor installs. Do not install your Lift on a second floor or elevated floor without first

consulting the building architect and getting their permission.

• Dress properly. Wear protective gear (safety goggles, helmet, heavy gloves, suitable working

clothes, safety boots, ear protection, and so on) at all times when installing the Lift. Do not wear

loose clothing or jewelry; contain long hair; keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

⚠ WARNING Always wear appropriate protective gear when working on the Lift.

Quatra™ Full-Rise Scissor Lift 15 P/N 5900085 — Rev. A1 — October 2019

Choose the Console Location

Before going any further, decide how you want to orient the Console, as it impacts other aspects of

the installation.

Each Frame has two Hydraulic Hoses (of different lengths) already pre-attached; the Right Frame

comes with shorter Hydraulic Hoses, so the Console must go on the right side of the Lift in order for

those Hydraulic Hoses to reach the Console where they attach. If this configuration works for you, then

continue to the next procedure.

If you prefer to position the Console on the

Left

side of the Lift, you will need to undo the two

Hydraulic Hoses from each Frame and swap them; this needs to be done before you route the

Hydraulic Hoses to the Console.

In most cases, the Console location is determined based on the access to the power source. If access

to the power source is not an issue for you, choose the option that best fits your setup.

See Connect the Hydraulic Hoses for a list of the Hose lengths and connector locations.

The following drawing positions the Console on the right side of the Lift.

Top View. The Rear of the Console must face the Lift in order to route the Hydraulic Hoses through the

back opening. Drawing not to scale. Not all components are shown.

Quatra™ Full-Rise Scissor Lift 16 P/N 5900085 — Rev. A1 — October 2019

Checking Clearances

For safety purposes, a certain amount of clear space around the Lift is

required

. More space is

needed at the Rear of the Lift for Vehicles to drive on and off the Platforms.

Quatra™ Full-Rise Scissor Lift 17 P/N 5900085 — Rev. A1 — October 2019

Unloading and Unpacking

When the components of your Lift are delivered to the site, have them dropped off as close as

possible to the area where you will be installing the Lift.

Once the components are unloaded, they are your responsibility to move around. The Frames are very

heavy, so the closer you unload them to the installation location, the better off you will be.

⚠ CAUTION Some Lift components are extremely heavy. If handled incorrectly, they can

damage materials like tile, sandstone, and brick. Try to handle the Lift components

twice: once when delivered and once when moved into position. You

must

have a

Forklift or Shop Crane to move them into position. Use care when moving them.

Quatra™ Full-Rise Scissor Lift 18 P/N 5900085 — Rev. A1 — October 2019

Creating Chalk Line Guides

Create Chalk Line Guides so that the edges of the Frames fit into the four corners created by the Chalk

Line Guides.

Refer to Specifications to determine the Overall Width and Outside

Length

values for your Lift.

Note: Do not use the

Overall

Length value; this includes the Ramps, which are not taken into

consideration for creating Chalk Line Guides.

To create Chalk Line Guides:

1. Decide where you want to locate the Lift.

Keep in mind that the Console must be within 35 inches from the Lift.

2. Create an Alignment Chalk Line where you want the Front of the Lift.

Make the Alignment Chalk Line longer than the overall width of the Platforms.

3. Add two more Chalk Lines perpendicular to the Alignment Chalk Line and 40.5 inches (1,029 mm)

apart. Remember, this is a Lift that can be used for alignment services, so you want your

measurements to be correct.

Make the Chalk Line long enough for the entire length of the Ramp. This line will be your reference

when laying down the Base Plates.

4. Create the Rear Chalk Line parallel to the Front Chalk Line.

Make the Alignment Chalk Line longer than the overall width of the Platforms

5. Double check all dimensions and make sure that the layout is perfectly aligned.

Quatra™ Full-Rise Scissor Lift 19 P/N 5900085 — Rev. A1 — October 2019

Align the Frames into Position

Once you have created the Chalk Line Guides, move the Frames into position.

To align the Frames into position:

1. Use a Forklift or Shop Crane to lower the Frames into the layout you created.

The Frames go on the inside of the Chalk Lines.

2. Align the Base Plates with the Chalk Lines.

3. Move the two Frames into position where the Left and Right Chalk Lines intersect the alignment

Chalk Line.

4. Measure the distance between the two Platforms at point a and b.

The Frames need to be same distance apart at both points. If a and b are not the same, adjust the

Platform locations; make sure they are the same distance apart and parallel to each other.

5. Double check that the Frames are correctly positioned and the Utility Rails are facing the inside of

the Lift.

Lift the Platforms off the Bases

You must raise the Platforms off their Bases in order to complete other aspects of the installation.

Be

sure to leave the Lift on a Safety Lock when you raise it.

⚠ WARNING The Frames are extremely large and heavy. You must use a Forklift or Shop Crane

to move the Platform off the Bases; make sure the Safety Locks are engaged when

you reach the desired height.

To lift the Platforms off the Bases:

1. Use a Forklift or Shop Crane to raise the Platform off of its Base Plate, using care so that the Base

Plates do not move.

Make sure to hold down the Base while you raise the Platform.

Tip Once the Platform and Base are separated by more than half an inch (~13 mm), you

can put Industrial Slings (straps) around each end to continue raising the Platform off

the Base.

2. Raise the Platform to the first Safety Lock, then make sure the Frames are secure on a Locking

position.

⚠ WARNING Do not leave or work on the Lift without first confirming that the Platforms are

secure on a locking position; if not, you or anyone else working on the Lift could be

seriously injured.

3. Repeat the same procedure for the other Frame.

Important:

Do not bolt down the Bases at this point

. This will be done later in the

installation process.

Quatra™ Full-Rise Scissor Lift 20 P/N 5900085 — Rev. A1 — October 2019

Anchor the Console

The Console comes assembled from the factory; there are still connections to make to the Power Unit.

That will be covered later in the installation.

The Rear of the Console must face the Lift to route the Hydraulic Hoses and Air Line through the back

opening. The Console can be up to 35 inches away from the Rear of the Lift.

Tip If you want to place the Console further than 35 inches from the Lift, you will need

to purchase Hydraulic Hoses that are long enough to reach the Lift from the desired

location. You may be able to obtain these Hoses from the local hydraulics shop,

once you know how long you need them; you will also need longer Air Lines. For

safety purposes,

the Console operator must always have a clear,

unobstructed view of the Lift

.

The following procedure describes anchoring the Console into place. If you prefer, you can defer

anchoring the Console. Anchoring the Console is a relatively permanent decision, so delaying the

procedure gives you more time to decide where you would like to position the Console. It is easier to

change the Console location later if it is not already anchored.

When you are ready to anchor the Console into place, return to this section.

The following drawing shows how to arrange the Console next to the Lift.
