    New Bendpak lift install question

    Finished it and rotated the tires on my truck this evening!! Only issue I had was the off side latch is slow to release and you have to push the lever all the way down . It is fairly easy to have on latch release and the other still engaged . I think I have a little to much slack in the cable...

    New Bendpak lift install question

    Got the wiring done and the arms on this evening and test ran it. Very smooth after getting the air out. I may need to adjust the cables some more since the power side leads the other slightly. I torqued the base bolts to 100 ftlbs to make sure they were solid. One took about 1 turn to click...

    Bendpak vs. Atlas and ANSI Certifications.........

    I am in the process of putting my XPR-10-ACX up and I understand the arms can be configured asymmetric or symmetric It was one of my buying points. Plus lower pad height + Certification + documented customer support. I was missing the anchor bolts in my box and Jeff had them there over night !

    New Bendpak lift install question

    Well my home email seems to have let me down... I called and talked to Matt in customer service but he needs a serial number and build date before he will ship the parts. I resent the email to Jeff as well with my invoice just in case he can help. I'll get the information off the lift this...

    New Bendpak lift install question

    Gee I hope not... Everything was packaged well and wrapped in plastic so I think all the parts boxes were here that were originally packaged... Shop is a bit cluttered but I was pretty careful as I unpacked things... There were several boxes with small parts... upper switch and wire + cover...
