must be used, make sure the pins on the extension cord plug have the same number, size, wire gauge, and shape as those of the AC power cord on the charger. 3. When handling power cords, always pull by the plug rather than by the cord; this reduces the risk of damage to both plug and cord, and it will also minimize the likelihood of electric shock resulting from that damage.

Initial Hydraulic Fluid Fill Procedure ⚠ DANGER Crushing hazard and pinch points. Do not place any part of your body between the top deck and any moving part of the Lift unless the Lift is blocked by a Jack Stand or equal device that will prevent downward movement.
Page 19
8. After the top deck has been made secure and is in a safe position, locate the circuit breaker on the electronics enclosure. Verify the circuit breaker is in the disconnected position as indicated by the figure below. If the reset bar cannot be seen, press the button as indicated in the figure. The Reset Bar should rotate out.
Page 20
14. Open the Parts Box and retrieve the Control Pendant. Push the Stop button. It should click and remain in the down “off” position. 15. Connect the Control Pendant’s plug into the mating receptacle on the Lift. The receptacle is mounted on the Lift’s base near the steering handle and the charging port.
Page 21
19. Locate the power cord (5324203). a. Plug the power cord into the MOBI-EVS and then plug the opposite end into a 110 VAC power outlet. b. Battery charging is automated. Allow the battery to charge until ≈20% is displayed on the battery status indicator.
Page 22
Install the Leveling Jack Hand Wheel Handles To install the Leveling Jack Handles: 1. Retrieve the four Handles from the Parts Box. 2. Thread one Handle into each Hand Wheel on each corner of the Lift. 3. Tighten the Handles using an open end wrench. 4.
Page 23
Extend and Lock the Steering Handle Assembly The Steering Handle Assembly is shipped in the stowed position. To Extend and Lock the Steering Handle Assembly: 1. Pull the Steering Handle straight out from the lift. Refer to the figure below. 2.
Page 24
Perform an Operational Test Before putting your Lift into normal operation, BendPak recommends raising and lowering it several times with a typical load on the Lift. This will help the operator get a feel for how to operate the controls and move any residual air out of the Hydraulic System.
Page 25
11. Repeat the process to raise the Load. 12. If the Lift is working without shaking, moving erratically, or squeaking, there is no need to repeat the procedure. If the Lift is shaking, moving erratically, or squeaking, repeat the procedure one more time.
Do not operate the Lift if safety or maintenance issues are present; take it out of service, then contact your dealer, visit bendpak.com/support, by email at support@bendpak.com, or by phone at (800) 253-2363, select option 7, then 4.

• Use the Emergency Stop button to stop the Lift at any time. • Use the Floor Locks when Lifting or lowering a load. The Floor Locks will prevent unintended Lift movement when operating the Lift. • Operator. The operator at the Control Pendant must have a full, unobstructed view of the Lift at all times.
Page 28
• Do not leave the top deck loaded for extended periods of time. • Do not lift personnel. The Control Pendant The operation of the Lift is controlled through the pendant. Pendant Controls: • STOP Button. Push for Stop. Rotate clockwise to reset and restore power.
Page 29
Important The weight on the top deck will affect the Lift’s lowering speed. The lighter the load, the slower the lowering speed. Figure not to scale, components removed for clarity. MOBI-EVS™ Lifting System P/N 5900376 — Rev. A1 — March 2024...
Page 30
Moving the MOBI-EVS The steering handle is attached to the Lift’s structure which rides on four zero-throw caster assemblies. This caster design allows easy push-pull and rotation of the entire Lift with minimal force required to move a given load. Refer to the figure below. Locking Pins are provided to prevent the front Tri-Caster rotation when moving long distances.
Page 31
Adjusting the Top Deck The top deck of the MOBI-EVS may be adjusted along its X (pitch) and Y (roll) axes using the four Leveling Jacks on the corners and to a much smaller degree about the Z (yaw) axis using the Slip Plate.
Page 32
To Adjust the Top Deck using the Slip Plate: The Slip Plate uses ball transfer load slides to allow small load position adjustments without repositioning the entire Lift. The Slip Plate allows a small amount of travel on either side of the centerline along both axes.
Page 33
⚠ DANGER Tip Over Hazard! Place the load on the Lift centerline. Loads off the centerline of the Lift risk tipping or damaging the Lift and causing severe injury or damage. IMPORTANT! Keep the load’s center of gravity on the centerline of the Lift. The load must be centered and evenly distributed across the top deck;...
Page 34
Using the Floor Locks The Floor Locks will restrict the Lift’s motion and provide additional support by engaging two rubber feet located in the center of both long sides of the Lift. To engage the Floor Locks: 1. Move and orient the Lift as required for your application. 2.
Page 35
About Safety Locks When the lift mechanism rests on a Safety Lock the load is held without hydraulic pressure . Gravity and mechanical forces operate to hold the load in position . The MOBI-EVS incorporates a fail-safe locking system. Even if power is lost the safety lock catch will snap into place to ensure a safe Lift condition.
Page 36
Learn to recognize the safety lock positions. Review the figures below to recognize when the top deck is locked and unlocked. The Safety Lock is engaged when: 1. The safety catch is at rest in the lock channel and/or in contact with the side of a safety stop. Hydraulic force is not required to hold the top deck up when the safety lock is engaged.
Page 37
Positioning and Raising the Lift This section describes how to position and raise a load on the Lift. To raise the Lift’s Top Deck with a load: 1. Check the items listed in Lift Operation Safety. Resolve all safety issues before operating the Lift.
Page 38
15. Walk around the Lift and verify there are no obstructions or any other issues that will interfere with raising the Lift’s top deck. 16. Engage and adjust the floor stops to ensure the Lift will not move while lifting or lowering. 17.
Page 39
8. When the load is safely lowered, check the load’s stability on the Lift to verify it is safe to transport. Readjust the tie downs if required. 9. Disengage the floor stops. 10. Carefully move the Lift with its load out from under the Vehicle by pushing, pulling, or rotating the Steering Handle as required.
7. The length of the Limit Switch Arm may be adjusted to ensure contact with the bolt extending from the scissor arm. 8. Lower and raise the Lift while observing the height at which it stops. Adjust the Arm Angle, if required, until the Lift’s top deck stops its ascent at the desired height.
