I had bought a lift about 9 months ago brand new i use it every day as I have a small shop I run and this is my only lift. I was working on a car today and went to drop the car to the ground and the lift went down a very little bit and stopped I called the manufacturer and was on the phone for 3 hr or more with no help what am I to do I have a customer's car stuck in the air I started watching you tube videos and then came across this channel I saw a phone number and called it this guy talked me throw what was wrong in mins wish I would have started with this thank you very much for making these videos keep doing it
great video. i have a 4 post lift that seems to have lost some of its liftig ability. iIt will lift my 4000lb jeep but not my 5500lb truck. it has a fenner pump driven by a 3/4 hp 110 volt motor. i am trying to determine if it is the pump or piston. No unusual noises lifting the jeep. tx be safe mike
Wish you were closer to me. You really know your stuff! I bought a used scissor lift, kind of like the Harbour Freight style car lift. 2 times now, when I lift a vehicle up, it will not come down. We had to get 3 guys and everyone lace as much weight on it and rock it back and fourth until it finely started to come back down. Once I put it up in the air to clean under it and same thing. 2 of us stating jumping on it while my son operated the down lever, then it finalizing started to come down. So frustrating. I'm scared to use it now! Could that also be the restrictor valve, like the one on the 2 post lift in this video?
Hi just getting ready to put an older weaver afh90 lift into service in my home shop and realizing that the lift locks while working do not clank on the way up like i have seen in some videos. I am guessing it is a setup issue but am also not sure if I am missing some spring or something that should be forcing the lift lock to pivot fully into the ladder when the release is not activated. Any thoughts you may have would be greatly appreciated by my wife who may not have to peel me off the floor if I don't get this right. Thanks
I have the same brand, and my problem is that the pump is whining under a load. We installed it and tested it with 2x. 200lb dudes, but a car got on it and got the shocks off the tires but whines without lifting it up any further
Just came across your channel. Do you work on mid size car scissor lifts?. I have a lift thats stuck on the up position and won't come down.. Any help?
I just put my truck on my new forward lift . When I tried it out worked great until my truck went up the one side is going down a lot faster ther the main one , enough for me to stop till I can find some answers
how would you get a 4 post lift to lower if you had a motor failure or the pump itself. it seems you might need some type of hand pump? so is there a way to do that if it ever happened? i figure it it blew a hose then installing another hose will fix that. thanks
@@mayken6661 i have not had that happen just wondering how you would do that. my guess is to wait until you got parts the get the hoist running again. thanks
What was the issue? Check valve? I recently bought a used car scissor lift and it won't come down. We had to keep jumping and rocking it while my son held the lever and it slowly came back down. Now I don't want to lift anything with it...
I just had an issue with my 2 post lift. This guy knows his stuff. Got me figured out right away. Thanks so much for your help!!!!

Had a worn nylon (or delrin) bearing block, slipped and wedged inside the post. Won't go up or down.
Mine is a spx and it goes up fine but to go down it's probably takes about 5 minutes for the car to come down it's a brand new pump.
I have the same brand, and my problem is that the pump is whining under a load. We installed it and tested it with 2x. 200lb dudes, but a car got on it and got the shocks off the tires but whines without lifting it up any further
We don't check this often so IF you have an issue, you must call us.
Wondering if anyone have similar experience my two post rotary bouncy when I lower it down going up is not an issue

Is it necessary to have the screen in place on the relief valve
My 2 post lift blew a line while lifting a car. i replaced the line now the lift wont come all the way down any info would be greatly appreciated.
My lift is dropping down when I lift it up , have changed the seals but still dropping .it has an electric valve too
What if you push the button, the motor kicks on, and it just spits fluid back into the Reservoir tank? Pump seal?
My Atlas lowers really slow.. always has. Would this be an issue with the lowering valve?
Help, I have a 4 post , I need to know how too change out my lock rods on 2 of the posts because it fell over. Can't find anything online . Thanks
Ok but how do you get it down without making a huge hydraulic fluid mess ?
Rav lift .
One arm stock. One arm moving
What should I do.?

I just installed a lift. When I push the button It makes a clicking sound and doesn’t want to lift. It then trips the breaker
I removed the line into the top of the ram and the restritor value and the ram hardly coming down. Could the ram be damaged internally?
did you ever figure this out?
Crime complaint sir please space link
