If working normally the top should go up in about 12 seconds, and down in 11 seconds. That was the advertised times.

This may have already been mentioned but ensure the lift system is properly lubricated and that no binding is going on. Sounds like you are making progress!

Have lubed recently. Thanks

If anyone might be able to come see my trlr while plugged into 30 amp, and check out how she's working, I would REALLY appreciate.

Seems rear left side of top may be an inch LOWER than rest. Can I adjust cable by jacking top (while up) and tightening cable?

Jerry, There is a way to adjust those cables. Check along the street side near the axle. You'll see four "bolts" protruding. When I adj cables, I lower the top, and using two 9/16" box wrenches, and if needed a pair of vise grips. Loosen the outer nut on the lower rear bolt, TIGHTEN the inner nut (while holding the cable side NOT ON THE CABLE with the vise grips). Only tighten the inner nut about 1 - 1 1/2 turns, raise the top and see where your at. DO NOT raise it too much. Only till it touches the bump at the top of the bottom (as seen at the door) Repeat as necessary.

Jerry- have you actually measured it to determine if one side is lower? Once you have determinded it is- you should cut 4 2x4s EXACTLY THE SAME LENGTH that you can place between the frame and the bottom of the corners of the top. They should be a few inches shorter( maybe 4-6?) than the distance between top and frame when up all the way. Then, lower it onto THOSE, do your adjustment, put the top back up and measure. If you need more adjustment, then you don't have to lower as far to do the next one.

Thanks guys. Great info. I think I can do this. Need to raise rear left side of top only about an inch, as she seems to be binding a bit. Gonna give this a try.

Rick, good idea with the 2 X 4s. I don't have a level drive, but I guess I could put them on the outriggers, Hummmm....

Rick, good plan. Thanks. I don't have access to a level driveway but think I would move to someplace level, like a concrete pad to do this. Thanks. Jer

Guys, thanks for so much help. We sold our Hi-Lo on Tuesday. Just too big for us old folks and no place to store and work on.

You're a great bunch and I appreciate everyone's help and encouragement.

All the best-Jerry

We are always happy to help. Congrats on selling the Hi-Lo but that doesn't mean your allowed to leave the happy Hi-Lo family.

Good luck in your endeavors and keep us in the loop.

Thanks much Rich. I've gained not only knowledge but also some good friends from our Hi-Lo forum. Over the past few years, I have also been an active participant with the Honda Shadow (motorcycle) forum, the Honda Helix (motor scooter)) forum and the Ford Truck Fanatics forum. Lot's to be learned as we approach old age, for sure. And good folks, willing to share knowledge and expertise too. Thanks.

Jerry

PS-That hands-on guy, Tree, has been super helpful. Wish I lived closer to him as I'd like to work with him on Hi-Lo's as well as old Ford trucks.
