Also the hydraulic circuit is meager and sometimes the lift won't go up. The fix is to increase the spring pressure on the bypass valve. Wait for a sale to buy one, they're barely worth that price.
They are on sale this week! I have had mine for almost 10 years now. It does sometimes take a few pumps to get it up. Where is this spring to alter? It is nice to have the wheel on as I can move it around fairly easy and out of the way to park the car inside during winter.
