Did you use equal length hydraulic hoses? Same length to each cylinder? If not, have you had any issue with the lift arms staying level as you lift? Maxjax advised they need to be equal length for lifting to be level.
Mine are no where near same length. One side is 32’ and other is 8’ and it works fine. Once line is filled with hydraulic fluid it will lift at same rate. Just run it a few times without load to fill and discharge fluid to even out the fluid in each line.
the people at maxjax just drop ship and sell, they don't understand much. Fluid is not compressable, it doesn't matter if one side is longer. I added 10 feet to one side to reach over the top, it didn't affect operation. 10 feet of extra hose and a 3/8 to 3/8 coupler was $50 amazon. Just do it.
It always spins me out when Americans do their own electrical but even more so when it's 240V. The new 240V plug resembles the standard Australian outlet plug. Same pattern, just a lot bulkier.
All Aussie normal voltage is 230V/240V 50hz, probably no different than 240V 60hz in usa. The USA likes to waste the extra copper for same amps on 120V, 😂.
Did you notice any difference on lifting 110 vs 240 ? Is it any faster on 240 ? Just curious cause i have the m7k and i would like to swap to 240 if it lift faster. Thank you.
Yea. Another thing I noticed just reading the install instructions, you should unplug the unit when not in use. I’ve had mine always plugged for over a year. Probably good idea to avoid power surge damage.
Awesome video, I have a question, what do you do for a living? This is all very expensive and.. I would like to know what kind of career you have , so I can aim for something similar. Thank you.
Hahaha. Probably not something I’d recommend if you’re not into math and science or have high curiosity. Also need to be a salesman and good in front of clients. Be a dentist or doctor if you want the big bucks.
I haven’t timed it. From what I read on Garage Journal it’s like 10 seconds. Nothing earthshaking. But it’s mainly to reduce the inrush amps on the 120v circuit 240V theoretically pulls half the amps for the same power.
