- Important Lift Maintenance: Lift Cables
Maintaining your lift cables is vital because they are a major part of the lifting process. They ensure that the vehicle is level during the raising or lowering of your lift. Over time these cables will stretch and need to be checked to ensure that they are being used properly. Your cables will stretch with use and will cause the carriages in each post to lift uneven.
An easy way to determine if your cables need to be adjusted is to listen to your locks on each post. If your locks are clicking in to position at different times, then you know it is time to adjust each cable. The cables need to be adjusted so that each carriage travels equally throughout the lifting and lowering process. Below are the process for installing and adjusting the cables on our 2-post and 4-post lifts.

SO.........you TIGHTEN the cable on the side that clicks late?
is it not unclear what is being tightened or loosened and why?
We're sorry. If the cable within the post is loose, and the locks are not clicking at the same time, you tighen the bolt. It's pretty easy, so it may seem too easy... but it's just tightening the bolt, which provides more tension on the cable.
You still didn’t answer the question. “Adjusting” can mean either tightening or loosening! Which side gets adjusted? The side that locks first or the side that is late? Why?
Please put 2 Post Lift in TItle since this doesnt cover 4 post lifts.
have you ever had one side start making loud vibrations that can be felt thru the floor when the lift is going down? seems to be happening on 1 side. thanks
Mine is when I'm going up
Loose that music !!!!
Yeah, you can't find any good videos on how to actually adjust the cables.
You just have to tighten the bolt, which makes the cables tighten and not be slack.
how do you hold the cable to prevent it from twisting
@@MegaMarclar I use a pipe wrench
Three year old video and Eagle Equipment still has not answered the simple question...do you TIGHTEN or LOSEN the cable on the side that clicks late?
Their entire product line is complete junk.
Run and hide from these clowns. The worst quality on the market!
I can verify your statement!
A person like myself who repairs these and other BETTER lifts for a living, I can tell you one thing, "STAY AWAY", And I am Just going by repair issues myself!
I will NEVER work on one again in the future, One was enough! LMFAO
@@lt4324so you work on these, how about a little insight. Do you tighten the loose side? Or loosen the tighter side?
Both provide the same result of "leveling the posts," but which is the desired result? Looser cables? Or taut cables?
