Painted my cold air return to look like a gas pump

Update, greased everything, bled cylinders, adjusted cables over and over. Saftey clicks 1 sec apart , raises equally like it always did and when lowering ,the power side arm drops the thickness of the pad ( 1 inch) first and the two sides continue down that way. Thats as close as I can get...

Lifting is level, its the lowering thats out of wack

Its close. few shims to level the columns

When adjusting the cables, do you feel the tension comparison only at a certain height ? Mine change the tension comparison between the two if its higher or when the arms are being lowered. Some online info says to get the squeeze tension between the two ,the same while others keep the...

Still experimenting ,aka, trying everything. There are plastic looking guides inside the columns . Don"t know if they should be lubed. Walker said he sprayed the pads, I think thats what he meant. So greased those up, thinking one side could be hanging up. Tighten a cable, arm height is better...

Ok for the basics of a two post : Do the rams "only" lift and when lowering its all cables bringing it down ? Or is it a combination of both together?

Attempted more bleeding ( lift to the top ,lowered till 2 ft off ground , opened far bleed screw first.) No air . Clicks are even on the way up. Power side arms still drop immediately when lowering. How could I check the rams to see if that's an issue?

Thank you, theegovernor

Thanks Finn, it was down a bit on fluid, added a qt. Would air only affect it on the way down ? It just started acting like this, could air got in the system if it was low ?Ill try it tomorrow

Having an issue with a Dannmar 10,000 lbs 2 post lift. It lifts even, but when lowering ,the power unit side drops about 1 1/2 inches before the other side. Continues down like that . Thrilled to call Dannmar support to hear them answer with " Bend Pak" Apparently Dannmar was absorbed in 2020 by...

The manual has drawings that show it sloped upward. Here the code was a single wall pipe from the heater into a b vent double through the wall. It leaks where the double wall joins an adapter to transition it to the single wall. The drain line would have to be in the double wall which they tell...

A downward slope is the way I would have thought to do it, but the instructions showed sloping up 1/4" per foot, apparently so any fumes would rise up the slope and out.??

Installed a 50k natural gas Mr heater Big Maxx . The local supplier I bought the horizontal B vent from sold me a round termination cap that you'd use for vertical, and stated that's what everyone uses for horizontal vents. Theres no evestrough above and with the upward vent slope I get dripping...
