Handy lift - Kaput!

greatnortoni · 11-28-2009, 12:40 AM

I have had a bike on the lift (in one position) for some time now. I had to lift it to get the safety stand disconnected and the damn thing won't lift!
It seems to just blow air out of the hole on the back of the cylinder. In the mean time I am going to have to go to plan "B" to get it down in order to get the bike off of it.
Any one else have had any similar issues with their Handy lift? Any ideas what it will take to fix it?
Thanks.

While the table is lifted........try taking the rod/piston out of the cylinder.
The seal might be bad. I had a problem with mine bypassing......took it apart and greased the inside of the cylinder........it's been fine for 8 years now.
Cheers
