Re: [MBZ] Lift update

2021-11-24 Thread G Mann via Mercedes
For your future safety, and ease of maintenance at some point in the
future, if you hardwire it in, install a disconnect box at the connection.
Then, if you need to do work on that lift, pull the disconnect, so it is
absolutely safe. Required by code for pool pumps, AC units, etc.. Not very
expensive.

I didn't ask many questions and the shop might not have known anyway, 
but you have to wonder if they bought it sight unseen, or if they were 
there in person, if they didn't know enough to look under it etc? I 
wonder what they paid for it? Ugh!

[MBZ] A sad story

2021-11-24 Thread Randy Bennell via Mercedes
I took my truck in for its annual rust proofing treatment this morning. 
The shop that does it is a small independent who does a lot of work on 
VW, Volvo, Mercedes etc.


Just before I left, I overheard one of the fellows at the counter 
talking to a customer on the phone about a car they had in the shop.


It was a 2000 Mercedes S500 that someone dropped off to get a safety 
done so that they could license it. The owner bought it in the USA and 
brought it to Canada.


The fellow at the shop told him they were unable to do a safety on it 
because it was so rusted that they could not put it on the hoist. He 
said all of the jacking points were totally rusted out and that the 
rockers and the door bottoms were full of expanded foam.


He told them to have it towed away and try to sell it as a parts car.

[MBZ] Lift update

2021-11-24 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
Only thing left is to connect the wiring, fill the hydraulic tank, bleed the 
system, and adjust the cables. When I wire it up I am also I stalling a 20 amp 
outlet at the control box to plug in the other lift. It has one of those round 
plugs in it and i am still debating on installing the outlet or just remove the 
plug and hardwire it in. This might be what I do but still deciding on that.

Either capacitive coupling, or resistive leakage.  Likely there is no 
significant current
available at those voltages.  Your meter has many megohms of input resistance, 
and
doesn't put any load on anything.  That's a design goal!  You can measure 
voltages
just by grabbing the meter probes with your hands.  Those voltages aren't enough
to penetrate skin, so you are probably safe.

But, like gun safety, you should _never_ be betting your life on any single 
measure.
I like to work _as if_ the wires are 'hot', even though I've taken measures to

Did you put the MAIN breaker to OFF?
or are you leaving the MAIN on and trying to only work a 220 leg?
Put the MAIN breaker to OFF, and retry for voltage.. you should have ZERO
electric on the system.
Be safe... but, just in case, make sure your life insurance is paid in full
and that we are beneficiaries, and add a codicil to your will that gives us
free pickings for all the cars.. ;))

All jokes to the side, be double safe.
