I just use the plain old glue boards. I have use them for several years now and they seem to keep my garage pretty much bug free. They don't have nasty chemicals in them like sprays do. I cut them in two and place them on the floor at all the door openings. It is amazing how many critters...

I bought it from the factory and installed it myself. I did get the replacement power pack in. I'll be swapping it out this weekend. Joe

I had mine delivered to where I work. We have a loading dock and a forklift. I stored it there until my garage was ready. We loaded it on a car trailer for the trip home. Once there, I borrowed a forklift from a drywall installer's warehouse a few blocks away. We unloaded it, broke it down...

Good call. I did change the sampling rate between the two current measurements. I hadn't measured the resistance yet, but they are now sending a complete hydraulic unit to change out. Joe

That's what I thought at first. But the intake is supposed to have a filter on it in the resivoir. Maybe they left it off??? I got a pressure gauge on it that has a scale in pounds so you can see how much weight it is lifting. The gauge reads the same 6000-6200 lbs when it is running up with...

It has a 30A breaker at the panel. I have not ran it long enough (4-5sec max) in this condition to trip the breaker. From your motor specs, it sounds like the same motors that I have tried. I talked to Buck at Mohawk today. He had been on vacation, and the other service guy was swamped...

The crazy thing is that it is itermittent. It will work fine several times and then one time make this noise. Releasing the button and pressing it again may make it sound fine again. Or I may press it several times and it does not come out of it. It does not matter what height it is at or if...

Here are pics of the motor current in both normal and the high current condition. I also recorded wav and mp3 files of the noise the lift makes. Too bad I cannot attach the sound files in this forum. I'm going to send them to Mohawk today to see if they know what it is. Joe

It goes through a double pole pushbutton switch. The only reason I would rule out a bad switch or breaker would be that the current goes up when this happens. Normally about 14Amps to over 60Amps. Voltage at the motor is 240V. It drops a couple of volts when running normally. It drops to...

Hi, The model# is System1A-10. The serial number is A7E145. Joe

Hi, Here are some photos of a Mohawk lift I installed in my garage. Larger pics and some more photos can be found here: http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=151868 I would like to thank OldCarGuy for answering the questions I had when deciding to purchase a lift. I covered the hydraulic...
