Yes there seems to be restrictors on both sides. Altho they are not in the cylinders themselves. They are in the fittings somewhere. I know because when I removed the cylinders to take them to get resealed, once the fittings are off, it's full bore into the cylinders. I compressed them by...

Do you have any shots of the undersides of the cars when up? I'm sure others (cough me) are interested in what the access is like with this particular lift. :D Funny this bump came yesterday, the same day I got my MaxJax cylinders back from the hydraulic shop re-sealed for the second time...

Hadn't seen the C7000. Seems I'm too busy under cars and not over computers, heh. The C7000 looks basically like a safe version of the MaxJax. It has the critical locking system the MaxJax lacks. I almost lost a car when a hose burst on one side of my MaxJax and one column went all the way...

Agreed that it's all complete horse dung that you have to deal with that. My MaxJax never lifted level since day one. I guess it's just comes with the territory when you don't run a proper synched system with cables or otherwise. Flow dividers alone do NOT a proper lift make. These lift...

By scissor I was referring to the usual designs with blocked centers. The 6KF doesn't have this problem (hence the allure) but it has the other problems you mention so I am currently not considering it pending future redemption. So yea, still undecided in my case. In your case, you're...

This is a dilemma I face while trying to replace my MaxJax. Do I go scissor? Do I get another, better 2 post? They have their pros and cons. Like you I am trying to park in the repair bay where this would go. The undercar access for a 2 post is unmatched. But so is the PITA factor getting...

Wow, great read. And I thought I was disappointed with my MaxJax. Well, I still am. :p I was looking to replace it with this unit. Might have to go back into looking at the Kwik Bay. Or another, safer 2-post. Greg Smith is local to me so there's that advantage of warehouse pickup...

You'll get it. You're good. :thumbup:

Paypal is usually pretty good with that stuff. I'd say you'd be safe.

Just in case, you're not using an extension cord, are you? That can choke the current and keep the unit from properly starting. If you must use one, make sure it's of the proper nice, thick gauge.

Sounds like either your rotary switch is jammed in the run position or the starting cap is dead or failing. Is the lift under load (car on it)? I know sometimes when the cap is weak or if you install a cap that's not up to spec, it won't start the lift when under pressure, but it will when not...

A little bump here to educate a little on the weaknesses and dangers of the MaxJax for those looking. Full disclosure: I've had mine about 4 years or so, and installed outside. So yes, I'm using it against the manufacturer's recommendations. So this is not a knock on the quality of the...
