Hi Guys: Yes, it is a worm gear that moves it up/down. You use an electric drill with a socket adapter. The mfg. recommends a drill with at least 8 amp motor - that you can operate at between 800 and 1200 RPM. I had a 22 year old Craftsman 1/2 Drill but it was only rated at 6.5Amp. It had enough power to drive the lift - but the drill was getting very warm and pretty close to HOT. Well it is pretty old and worn. So off to Harbor Freight - right down the street..Bought a 1/2 Drill with 8.5 Amp rating. It doesn’t even get warm. The amazing thing is - the new Drill was $42.95, about $20.00 less than my old one cost 22 years ago. Plus for $10.00 HF warranties the new Drill for 24 months. I usually don’t buy store warranties - but given the questionable reputation of HF electronic products - for $5.00 a year .. count me in. Several owners that use theirs at tracks etc - say the 18 to 24 Volt cordless drills will do the job, but it takes a battery for each up/down cycle. Most have power converters in their tow vehicles.. so they just use A.C. corded drills. Dave - aka “Jarvo2” pointed me to the EZCarlift… I had been looking at scissors lifts for quite some time, but couldn’t find anything that really addressed my needs / desires. This lift does everything I wanted plus has several additional capabilities that I can actually use. When I checked the EZCarlift site - they were on sale for $1795.00 - a bit more than many others, but they do a lot more of the things I wanted. 1) open access from the side of the car, with nothing under the car; 2) can’t take up much room to store; 3) had to be easy to move & set-up; 4) had to be useful for most of our cars "While I was at it” - I thought might as well get all the options and be done. Bought the Vinyl Floor Protector Pads, the Hocky Puck lift point adaptors [for the M/B}, the movable Castor Kit so I can roll the car around in the garage on the lift, Ramp Extensions to extend the ramps from 60 inches to 68 inches {wive's E350}, and a kit to turn the lift into a work bench. Right off the bat I was glad I ordered the Hock Pucks..had to use them on the Z. So far, everything I’ve seen has been first class materials and assembly. Very high quality though out and all made in the USA. The only downside that I can see so far - it takes about 1 minute to raise the car to 20 inches, and another 30 seconds to go up to 26 inches. Doesn’t sound like much - but seems like a lot of time as you are waiting. Of course it is FAR FASTER than using a floor jack at each end and setting up Jack Stands. I put a few more pictures on my Web Page.. if anyone is interested.http://becksystems.com/garage/EZCarLift/EZCarLift.htm FWIW,Carl B.

You can download it from this site. http://www.xenons30.com/reference.html If you scroll further down to the "other" section you will also find the EFI bible. I have read that the EFI bible on the xenon130.com site is better, but I can't confirm it. Goodluck Chas
