yellow harbor freight lift

[slumlord]

I just got a yellow HF lift at 50% off. It is all foot pedals for up and down. the foot pedal that lowers the bike is supposed to be [quickly] and fully depressed to let the bike down slowly. It really did not work all that well,[down too quickly] and now it will not pump up.
If I cannot bleed it out ,I will return it, for another or I could see that you could easily use a better hydraulic jack like a 4 or 8 ton for better control and a higher lift. The foot pedals would be missed in replacing the jack,I am afraid...
Even if I have to replace the bottle jack,it is still worth what I paid. The linkage of this jack is much less wobbly than the HF aluminum motorcycle lift.
There is supposed to be a super coupon for the 1000 pound red HF Motorcycle lift table Anyone know where? You can see them on E-bay,but they are not guaranteed to be good in the store.

Both the August and September issues of "Motorcyclist" magazine have the coupon.
Regularly $499, priced at $299 with the coupon.
Chances are, it's in some other magazines as well.

If you don't have easy access to the coupon, PM me your address and I can mail you one.

BTW,the little pump on this unit is trashed with only one lift of the unit.
To let the bike down slowly,you are supposed to mash down the foot pedal quickly and all the way. I hit the pedal lightly and probably blew the check valve.
The guys at HF took a floor model apart and gave me a good pump, and we tested it in the store with an employee riding it down to simulate a loaded jack..
Really thinking about the big red lift now as I can just take the other one back for a refund

Wow, we used that for my bike a couple of weeks ago, but I think my bf has had his lift for quite some time.

As far as coupons, I look up HF and coupons and click on that site print them out and they accept them....all you can do is try ...and when I printed them out their was printing on the bar...but they still accepted them...

Good luck with the next lift!
