As a new motor machanic.you wish to start up a new business.you happen to find a garage with a workshop where you are thinking of service and repairing cars. Your wish is to have a modern workshop with a car lift that will allow you as a mechanic to work underneath the cars without laying on the ground.

1.1 give the analyses of the two dominant systems you would wish to install in your workshop.

• The BendPak XPR-10AXLS which is a two-post lift with a weight capability of 10,000 pounds and a lifting elevation clearance that is greater than many of its rivals.
• APlus Lift HW-8SXLT - This multiple post (4) lift is ideal for stacking cars that are long and tall, It has a lift height of 82 inches, a length of 190 inches, and a width of 112 inches. It has a capacity of 8,000 pounds and is driven by a 1.5-horsepower/110-volt hydraulic power unit.

1.2 state with reasons the difference that exist between the systems in 1.1.

• The BendPak XPR-10AXLS is a two-post lift system with a weight capability of 10,000 pounds but not suitable for long and wide vehicles while APlus Lift HW-8SXLT has 4 post lift which is ideal for stacking cars that are long and tall (height of 82 inches, a length of 190 inches, and a width of 112 inches)

1.3 which system in 1.1 mostly applicable to the car breaks?

• The BendPak XPR-10AXLS which is a two-post lift since it balance the vehicle at the center and leaves the wheels parts on the outcasts creating more space for the mechanic to work on.

1.4 describe the process of fitting the breaking systems in a car.

1.5 as in 1.4,why is it so important to have all traces of air eliminated from the system?

• the brake communication is disrupted by air in the system. As the air within the system is compressed, the input forces produced by activating the brake lever can no longer be transferred efficiently.
