Matt, the pvc test port looks like a 1/4" male flare. What do they actually call the brass bleeder valves that are opened/closed with flat blade screwdriver? I had trouble finding a 1/4" female flare fitting to mate to that port to get to pipe to allow attachment to an air line compressor...

Guys, I have had this exact situation occur on my HD9-ST. You can work around this by simply pushing the down lever in until you can disconnect power. Regards Jim

Good luck with your HD9STX. I am going thru similar transition with college bound kids along with purchase of HD9ST with RJ45. The lift has allowed me to do things my age would no longer allow me to do working on the ground. You won't be sorry. Money well spent. Enjoy! Jim

The trailer I used was 72"x 20'. 7516 LB LOAD CAPACITY. 10,000 GVWR. Good Luck Jim

I purchased a used BendPak in WV and moved it to SE PE in a day. I would do it again. I found good information here and actually spoke to a number of great guys here to tell me what and how to do it/what order to do them in to give myself the confidence to move forward. Prior to purchase I...

All of my Bendpak experiences were top notch. For example, I was looking to purchase a used Bendpak 4 post lift. Jeff exchanged emails on the items to closely inspect for wear to the best way to break down for the 400 mile trip home. Talk about support after the sale.....never a hint of any...

I have had this exact situation occur to me when the internal switch (inside motor) stuck. Holding down the release handle allowed the lift/vehicle to stay in place so I could re-position to get the twist lock plug a few steps away. This failure mode is very stressful on the motor. It...

I realize that you (Brownbagg) have purchased another motor/power unit. I just wanted to leave a note regarding some of the failure modes that would lead to a rebuild. Often what fails in these motors is the centrifugal switch assembly that also holds the fixed stationary switch. A failure of...

Doug, 1.) fluid is already installed. 2.) I loosen screw up about half way from snug. 3.) I did not experience any chatter. 4.) You will probably need to full extend jack and lube slide blocks. JimD

I recently (1 month ago) purchased a used HD9-ST located about 5hr from my home. Drove out in the morning, inspected, broke the lift down, loaded, and drove home later that night. I have been pleased with the purchase thus far. Bendpak is running a special on the trolley lift (RJ45). Sale...
