Re: I think I Shat myself
Albert,
Did you do anything special to lower the car the rest of the way after you found the broken wheel? My Bend Pak 4-post is a little over a year old and after about 2 weeks of sitting the cables will go slack with about 3 inches hanging below the ramp and everything has settled on the 4 post stops. I have to lift the car up for about 15-30 seconds to take up the slack before I can lower it. Did you experience anything like this? Mark Sheppard

Re: I think I Shat myself
Mark, I do the same..once the car is up, release onto the stop support things and slacken the hydraulics/cables....its just the fluid draining out of the ram..takes a few seconds to re fill..dont know when the wheel broke..today was the day it slipped.

Re: I think I Shat myself
I always lay my lift on the stops and release the pressure when a car is up on the lift. Saves the seals and maybe me being squashed. Delay is no big deal. You could take up some slack on the cables if it bugs you.
Mark, call my cell we have been playing tag.
