    Is the stop down.
    Raise the table, look on the right back side, kick the safety stop up.

    Make sure there is nothing under the wheels that rolls across the floor too.

    Then there is something wrong. My lift does not want to lower and my lift doesn't lift very smoothly.

    When you press the foot pedal down. Press it till the back side of the pedal is all way down on the floor.
    If that don't work try standing on it.
    Mine goes down by itself.
    The roller wheels are ob the front side. If something gits infer them thy can't roll .
    I've never had a problem with my table.
    Hope you didn't git Teflon tape on the air ports when you put the air connectors on.

    Look at the rollers on the sides of the lift.
    How much air pressure do you have.
    Mine is at least 90 lbs on the guage of the compressor.

    What did you come up with.
    Did you take anybody over that knows about a lift or have you called TCML.

    I have never seen a problem like you are having.

    Either not getting air or not enough air
    is their a lever on the compressor that stops air going through the hose
    most have one, a manual shut off..

    Doesn't it have to slightly lift to lower

    he also said it lifts very slow

    which would be low pressure from the compressor
    or perhaps a safety valve on the ram or lift ram is bad
    or the floor pedal is bad...

    Or he's hooked something up wrong...

    He has a small 30 gallon compressor.
    I was tryin to git him to git a 60 gallon tank. It's gonna raise slowly.

    Know several folks with this lift.
    Never heard of. Problem

    It's a brand new lift.

    Couldn't imagine what the problem is.:rolleyes:
