    Electric Boom Lift Lower Arm Not Working

    Building a house, and lent my Ameriquip Eagle 42 Electric Boom Lift to my siders. They said they were using it, and suddenly the lower arm dropped 7-8' quickly. They dropped it down to the ground, and now it doesn't want to lift at all. Motor seems fine. Upper arm works perfectly. When I attempt...

    Electric Boom Lift Hydraulic Pump Failure?

    OK, I'm stumped now. Thought I had it figured out last weekend; it seemed like with the batteries only at ~50% charge it didn't want to work well. So if I left it on the charger for 1/2 hour or so, it would work perfectly at normal speed. Used it like this for almost an entire day. Left it...

The whole lift is VERY simple (unless I'm missing something): it's just an industrial AC-DC 24V power inverter hooked to the pump and...

The pump would cut out for 2-3 seconds, then start again. Eventually, that 2-3 seconds became 5-10, then 20-30. Now, if the pump turns at all, it...
