Bendpak HD-9 installation question

I am currently installing a Bendpak HD-9 lift in my garage. I am at the point of hooking up the hydraulics and airline fittings to the power unit. The directions leave a lot to be desired. Does anyone have pictures or better information on the hook-up to the power unit? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the photos and information. Your lift and configuration look slightly different than mine. I called Bendpak tech support and was told they changed the design seven to eight months ago. Mine has one hydraulic hose from the front port of the power supply to the rear fitting (looking at the lift) of the hydraulic cylinder. The rear port of the power supply is attached to the front fitting of the cylinder with an air line fitting. The air lock looks very similar to your photos. Once i get it up and running and adjusted i will post photos. Thanks again for your quick response.

You can....as long as no supporting vendors sell this product, it is obvious you can post anything you want. In fact, the vendors themselves may want to buy one!

I purchased my lift from Garage service equipment. I ordered the HD9 lift with caster kit and telescoping jacking tray. The total cost was $2907.00 and shipping was free. I used my skid steer with pallet forks to unload it.

I did a search and couldn't find a web page for "Garage service equipment". Do they have a web page?

FYI - Casters ($270) and jacking tray ($199) aren't included with the Bend Paks.

Does anybody have a newer HD-9 that they'd like to share pics of, like the beautiful ones Patches posted above? It would help me at this point.... I have the superstructure up and am about to start the cables, hydraulics, and pneumatics. (When it's done by one person + a cherry picker, things tend to take a little longer

.)
Thanks in advance....John
