If I had the space I would always go for a 4post over a 2post lift, the slight inconvenience of some of the ramp structure getting in the way(which really only matters when you are earning a living with it) more than offsets the extra security that a 4 poster gives. Edited October 17, 2012 by Onoff. Thanks KMEI'll describe the problem so you can ask them when you see them.The driven leg is basically a tube with a section removed. I.e if you look at it's section it's a big 'C' shape.In the middle of the leg is the tall hydraulic ram.http://bezpiecznamlodosc.org/files/bosch-manual-mixer.xml

Two flat 'straps' hang down from the top of this to lift that corner of the car deck (the other 3 legs lift the platform via wire ropes)When they got the dismantled hoist, the 'straps' were unbolted from that corner of the car deck.Now they have bolted them to the deck, but with the straps outside the leg. Now the heads of the bolts won't fit through the gap to pop it back inside the leg.So you need to assemble it inside the leg. But of course then there's no access to get the bolts in.To my mind, the only way this is possible is to further dismantle the leg, so you are left with just the hydraulic ram. Hang the deck from it's straps, and then lower the leg down over the ram. But that's a lot of weight to lift quite high to do that.they have spoken to the guys that dismantled it, and they said they just 'wiggled' the leg until the two bolts popped through, springing the gap open in the process, but it seems near impossible to do that in reverse.The only other suggestion was to get the grinder out and enlarge the gap in part of the leg, but that's firmly into bodge it territory (though I can't see what harm it would actually do) Edited October 18, 2012 by ProDave. 4 Post Car Lift Installation Dave is this ramp for professional use.

I've wired the supply to it, but putting the thing mechanically back together is something he's puzzling over and I'm just trying to help him. I can take some pics of it either tomorrow or sat if you want?http://www.emjar.pl/zdjecia/fck/bosch-manual-pull-station.xmlbut from what you said, the ram is in the post section. I know on this one there is nothing in the posts, other than a steel cable hanging from the top to the bed - all the guts are under thereYes on this one, the ram is in the middle of the 'driven' leg. And steel ropes connect via pulleys to lift the other 3 legs as the driven one raises.I note according to a label on it, the steel ropes are due for replacement by 2014 so I hope he has factored that into his sums.

Most of these hoists differ only slightly from each other in the manner in which they have been manufactured. For example: in length, width, load capacity, safety features, etc.http://www.davetiyecionline.com/images/4-port-kvm-switch-manual.pdf Therefore it would be almost impossible to give a detailed account of how each hoist works or is installed. I will however, endeavour to detail the manner in which most of them are installed keeping in mind that certain things will vary from hoist to hoist. The following is a general overview of how a four post hoist might be installed. Figure 1.1 shows a complete four post car vehicle hoist. I will be referring to figure 1.1 below throughout much of this section. Left Hand Platform 12. Right Hand Platform 13. Cross Beam 14. Chock Ramp (Flaps) 15. Centre Beam Cover 16. Side Beam Covers 17. Box Cover Trestles ? Square ? Spirit Level ? Extension Cord ? Creeper ? Hammer Drill with Drill Bits. Toolbox and Tools ? Plumb Line ? Sleeve Anchors ? Hydraulic Oil (E.g. Castrol AWS Hyspin 32). Shims (to level Posts). Vehicle Hoist Installation Instruction Manual The surface must also be level. If it is new, the hoist is carefully removed from its crating. The parts are carefully laid out in their respective places on the area earmarked for the installation. With the platforms and the cross beams resting on the trestles in a similar manner to the one shown in Figure 1.2below. Usually the electrical point is installed before the actual installation of the hoist. The Auxiliary Column that the Power box is installed on may be erected close to this electrical point This platform contains the pulleys and shafts, the hydraulic cylinder, air hoses (Stenhoj model), etc, while the other platform is void of any of these and is usually able to move either left or right in order to accommodate cars with a wider or narrower wheel base. The cables are then fed through the cross beams and the pulleys (usually four of them) are inserted, one on each end of the same (figure 1.3 below). Great care must be taken to ensure that the cables are fed properly and that they do not overlap, get twisted or are fed through the incorrect channels. It is very important to remember to grease the pulleys and shafts before installing them. The cables are greased after the installation has been completed. Failure to do this could see the side of the cross beams rubbing against the inside of the pillars thus causing major wear on both of these items, the ratchets (explained below) not locking into the ladders properly and a host of other problems, depending on what brand of hoist I am installing. Adjust if necessary by shimming I check to ensure that they are all lubricated, properly bolted in, and move freely, and are generally in proper working order, etc. The pillars are then moved in up against their slides on the end of the cross beams. The posts are then shimmed using either body washers, or wheel alignment shims to make them level. This is done with the aid of a spirit level. Once levelled, a plumb line is used to insure that they are all square one to another. As the posts are continually being moved during the shimming and squaring process, they are then rechecked to ensure that they are lightly up against the thrust pads before drilling finally takes place and they are bolted down.For someone experienced though, It is more than possible to determine by whether the concrete is suitable or not. If in doubt I will sometimes drill a test hole. If my drill struggles through the concrete (in all areas) and if the sleeve anchors pull up nice and tight this is a sure sign that I am installing on a strong, well prepared slab. Obviously I can determine the depth of the concrete by using the measuring instrument on my hammer drill The cable ends are then fixed onto the top of the posts (Figure 1.7 below). All of the connections for the limit switches, hydraulic hoses, air piping (if applicable), etc are also done at this central point. The oil reservoir is filled up with the required amount of hydraulic oil. The areas around the hoist are cleared. Once the electrician is complete and once I am satisfied that everything is in order and that it is safe to do so, I can now turn the electricity on and push the up button. From here, as hydraulic oil flows into it, the hydraulic cylinder pulls up the slack on the cables, and the hoist is lifted slightly off of the trestles. I will remove these, as they have served their purpose. I will now walk around the hoist to make sure that it is safe. For example, are the cable ends securely in the pillars, have the cables disengaged the spring loaded eccentric locks, is there nothing that could potentially obstruct the hoist form being raised or lowered, etc. I will now lower the hoist to the ground, perform another safety check and then raise it to its highest level while constantly observing it and listening out for any abnormal noises, etc. As the hoist reaches its highest level, I make sure to note that the limit switch, which automatically stops the hoist, performs that its function. Having again made sure that it is safe to do so, I will now lock the hoist on the ladders and enter in underneath it in order to check the following items. That there are no leaks on the hydraulic cylinder and hoses. ? That the slack cable limit (if applicable) switch is working properly. That the hydraulic cylinder is securely fastened to the platform. ? That the overflow pipe from the hydraulic cylinder to the oil reservoir is secure. ? Etc. Once levelled both the ladders and the cables will be locked to ensure that they do not work there way loose and that the hoist does not go out of level prematurely. It will eventually need to be re-levelled once the cables start to stretch. Once this is done and the hoist is found to be safe a vehicle will be placed on the hoist and various checks such as locking the hoist at different heights into the ladders, etc will be performed. This will all take place with the operator and manager looking on and taking instruction. The manager and operator will be given strict instruction on how to use the hoist as well as relating to service intervals. I will contact him at these intervals. The hoist can now be certified and used until its next pre planned inspection date. The user manual for the hoist will be given to the manager. This, the safety and load test certificate will be filed and kept by the manager. He has approximately one thousand vehicle hoist installations under his belt and is an expert in advising clients on various types of workshop equipment, from vehicle hoists to diagnostics, to electronic wheel service equipment. He has also set up numerous workshops in his time in the automotive industry. Add any text here or remove it.

You can find a good installer by calling Classic lift on 1800 95 10 22. Things to keep in mind while you are installing the 2 post car lift PLEASE ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOU MAINTAIN SAFETY FIRST AT Use the proper tools indicated in the manual that you will receive with the lift. Most manufacturers always say to at least have the concrete anywhere from 100mm to 200mm in-depth and Now, once the car lift arrives at your place you want to make sure that you have a way to get it off the truck.This is fairly simple and you should not have too much trouble figuring out how and where to insert the cables. At this point, all you have to do is place the two columns and align it with the chalk line. Make sure you lift each column with the help of someone else; you don’t want to be hurting your back in the middle of the job and not be able to finish it, these columns are pretty heavy. If you have any questions about any of these models please give us a call at 1800 95 10 22 and we would be more than happy to explain how this works. If there is, simply fix with a couple of horseshoe shims until the column is evenly balanced. Once you have the column levelled, tighten them at 150 nums. of torque. Follow the steps again to install the second column. This is a fairly simple procedure and most of the time you will either need a forklift to raise the bar or you can also raise it with two ladders and two men on each side. Once it is placed on top make sure you tighten the bolts, and then you will have the structure and hardest part of the Hoist already set up. Please make sure that if the anchor bolts have become loose while you were tightening the top bar, to tighten them again. Usually, the unit will come with a Vibration dampener and this must be placed between the Hydraulic unit and the column. Once you have installed the hydraulic unit properly, you can fill the unit with hydraulic oil, you will need approximately 12 litres. Now again, depending on what kind of lift you bought, the installations for these items are always going to be slightly different. However, for most lifts, you always have to install the safety cables through the cylinders in the columns and through the top bar of the lift. And the same thing goes for the hydraulics lines and power unit hoses. So please read the installation manual properly and follow the advice step by step. They will direct you exactly on how to install each cable and where it needs to go. One mistake and you might have to redo all your work again. It should only take you a couple of hours to install this lift, and believe it or not, it is not that hard. AGAIN, MAINTAIN SAFETY AT ALL TIMES WHEN INSTALLING THE Hoist.

Like you I prefer manual transmissions in general but I have found that the CVT transmissions found in almost all scooters have their advantages too. I have 2 scooters and 2 motorcycles. It's the scooters I ride the most. Around town I prefer the CVT although out on the mountain roads I really love to ride, the CVT just doesn't work as well as a manual. My advice is to get a small scooter for running around town and enjoy it for what it is. Keep your motorcycle too so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Like you I prefer manual transmissions in general but I have found that the CVT transmissions found in almost all scooters have their advantages too. Keep your motorcycle too so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Click to expand. I sure I could get used to it. Maybe the scoot I rented had a problem:eek1 I sure I could get used to it. Maybe the scoot I rented had a problem:eek1 Click to expand. If you don't like the way the CVT works, it can be modified. Modifying the CVTs on scooters are a very common mod. You can change the rollers with different weight rollers or sliders. Changing the springs in the clutch will change how it engages. Long before buying my first scooter I rented a Riva 125 ( in Hawaii) and also rode a friends Reflex. Both were really slow off the line and I just assumed that all scooters where like that. They aren't. As for revving the engine before takeoff. These scooters have a centrifugal clutch which requires the engine to be revved a certain amount before engaging. I can't say if the scooter you rode was working properly. I recommend riding a few more scooters. I'm sure you will find one or more that you like. Another thing to consider, with no clutch or shifter, the controls on a scooter are simplified. Throttle and two brake levers. The Riva I rented had a brake pedal on the floorboards. It was a PITA to use. I do like having both brakes controlled by hand levers. One thing you may want to consider if you get a scooter is that many come with linked brakes. All Hondas and some others have their brakes linked so that you can not use the rear brake independently. Some people like this feature but I think it is industrial strength stupid. I'll let you make up your own mind. It sounds to me like you either had a scoot with some problem with the clutch (grease on it, maybe) or worn; or maybe a design. Now, some revving to get it moving is part of the package; you don't want an engagement at slow speed. Otherwise, the clutch will be dragging as the engine idles; and you'll be replacing shoes forever. Keep in mind, the design of some scoots. Now, I have a Burgman 650.big machine. But the transmission and clutch seem designed to keep the engine at around 3000-4000 RPM. Open the throttle, engine speed increases; then the transmission adjusts and revs drop. Speed increased. I don' think I'd want to deal with a manual clutch with a variator transmission. The burgman 650 has pseudo semi manual gears. If honda bring their 700cc scooterbikething over here it has dct which might be closer to what you want. You will likely get used to a cvt, maybe just trying a scooter with more power might help. Not that the blur is underpowered. Click to expand. But I can't recall a small scooter with this semi automatic. (Burgman650 and Integra already mentioned.) Click to expand. Also it could be argued that this is not a true 'automatic' transmission, it's a CVT, which doesn't have the inherent torque converter slip and loss of efficiency of an automotive auto-trans. It's a 200 cc bike, most small engines need to rev up some to produce enough torque and power to make good acceleration, that includes manual transmissioned bikes. Click to expand. They do have 4 speed semi-automatic transmission (no clutch lever on the left grip). The body design, however, is more motorcycle than a scooter with their 17 inch wheels.
