If the check valve at the tank is bad, when it starts building pressure it can start doing what you are describing. It could be working too hard against the tank pressure. I would let it build up as far as it can then shut it down. Crack the line between the head and the tank and see if there is...

4" is fine for a two post. More doesn't hurt, but less can. Lifts typically come with a 5 3/4" wedge anchor. By the time you subtract the thickness of the nut, washer and baseplate of the lift you are only going to have about 4" in the concrete. With those type wedge anchors, if the hole is...

Curtis...Hands down best compressor on the market.

A 2 post would be more difficult to install and not scratch the floor. When you stand the post up, it's not going to be in the perfect spot. You will then have to rock it and walk it back and forth to get it in the right spot. Doing this will scratch the floor. I used to stand them up with a...

Be happy you didn't get the one with carriage rollers. They were horrible. Every one I installed with rollers was taken down. NAT must have changed lifts they were importing or either changed the carriages. As many problems as they were having, I don't blame them. I have know the guys at NAT...

Re: first follow up: America's Pride The NT9's had a problem with posts spreading and the rollers on the carriages falling off. They would get about 2 - 3 feet from the ground coming down and jam up. I had to take several of these lifts out. The guy who purchased my company took one out...

Well, I did install lifts for 20 years as stated previously. I was an independent contractor that installed lifts for several different companies. Yes, I stayed very busy. There were very few days that I did not install a lift. Most days I installed multiple lifts. I usually kept a 2-3 week...

Sorry you don't want to hear the truth. I have installed somewhere close to 15,000 lifts. I tought I could offer a little help and a little insight, but obviously not.
