I mounted new cables today for both bed and winch.
It worked fine. Then I got a bright ide, why not test to pull our Galaxie on to the bed.
So I got my daughter to film the big event.
Added ramps in the rear of the bed, and pulled the bed rise cable. It went up just fine. Started to winch the car up on the ramps.
All of a sudden I heard my wife screaming from inside of the car as ity was halfways on the ramps almost on the bed. THE BED WAS RISING UP and the ramps were going down.
My daghter filmed it all and I will NOT put it on YOUTUBE !!
So I have a question to you all, is it so that a "one way" pump can rise by putting pressure on the rear of the bed ?
I looked at the pump when I iattached the cable today.
It has 3 positions. One when the cable is max in. One in the middle, feeels like a ball and spring marks the middle position. And one when the cable is max out. Then the bed goes up.
Can someone say, is the middle position blocking the bed from raising ?
Or is the pump just bad ?
I'm stuck... and don't want to put big blocks under the bed while loading so that it will nott auto raise
It is a Marion hoist, with a tube from top to bottom, so I guess it goes up with the help of pressure, and falls down by gravity.
My wife said she will never help me loading a car again unless heavily drunk
she almost [censored] in her pants
