When we think of life expectancy... a chair stair lift is the furthest thing from our minds. As a matter of fact, for most of us, until just a few years ago, it probably never crossed our minds. According to experts, there are over 7.1 million persons using home accessibility features in the United States. With some of the most common features being raised toilets seats, hand rails, ramps, widened door entrances, adapted door locks, lowered counters, slip-resistant floors and chair stair lifts. With the largest segment of the population being baby boomers, we can easily understand such an astronomical number.

How long should you expect your chair stair lift to work properly before hauling it off to the city dump? Well that all depends. It depends first on if you purchased it new or if you purchased it used. Buying a chair lift is like buying a car. It is possible to buy a used car that gives you ten long wonderful years without you changing the timing belt or the oil.( if I were you I would not try that) On the other hand, you can purchase a used car and if you didn't know any better, you would have thought that the car salesmen went down to Fred's Sanford's Garage, splashed on a fresh coat of paint, switched out the rims and sold it to you.

When you purchase a new product there are some benefits that may not be an option with a used lift. When purchasing a new stair lift the option of purchasing insurance and warranties are readily available. While you still will want to be sure to carefully weigh all of your options, a few more dollars in insurance or warranties could potentially save you thousands down the road.

Also, when purchasing a new lift you can customize your chair to best suit your needs. of course this goes without saying; you are the best person to make customization decisions because you know exactly what daily activities you take part in. So what is the life expectancy of a chair lift? According to manufacturers a chair stair lift [http://www.usmobilitysupplies.com/harmar-summit-stair-lifts.html] should last at least 10 years or longer. So if you are thinking of purchasing a used one, be certain it is a lot younger than 10 years old for best performance.

Are you considering a stair lift but are wondering how long it should last? Without doubt, you want to make an educated buying decision. For more details about the life expectancy of a chair stair lift visit our site for convenience you can call our toll -free number.

Mazda to Test New Intelligent Transport System

In its continuous efforts to promote improved road safety, Mazda Motor Corporation has recently announced its plans to participate in public road trials in the Hiroshima area to help validate a new Intelligent Transport System (ITS) scheduled to start in fall 2007.

Intelligent Transport Systems use the latest in high-tech telecommunications to create an information network encompassing people, roads and vehicles, the goal of which is to work toward solutions for transport problems including road accidents, congestion and damage to the environment.

To help validate these tests Mazda, maker of top of the line Mazda timing belt, is set to develop an in-car navigation system that supports the ITS as well as supply several dozen test vehicles from which data will be collected and analyzed. The automaker is also developing a safe driving support system – reportedly an arrangement of cameras and sensors placed along roads that will transmit information to drivers - to be compatible with the ITS infrastructure.

The Hiroshima area has many road environments that make it conducive for a wide range of test conditions for the verification trials, including numerous bridges over the many rivers (including those which have dangerous blind summits); roads that accommodate both trams and motor vehicles, which have complicated traffic dynamics; and lowlands and mountain regions situated close together, which can create unexpected variations in weather and road surface conditions.

The equipment to be tested includes:

1. A system to identify the extent of road congestion.
2. A warning system to prevent speeding.
3. A system to prevent rear-end collisions at traffic signals.
4. A head-on collision prevention support system.
5. A right-turn collision prevention support system (identifies approaching trams, oncoming traffic and pedestrians crossing the street).
6. An in-transit information system.

The safe driving support system technology that will be tested collects information from the ITS infrastructure and from vehicles (vehicle condition, driver operation) to monitor local traffic flows and individual driver responses. The information collected will then be used to identify potentially dangerous situations and determine whether a warning or an alarm should be triggered. This is a breakthrough in terms of functionality compared to previous ITS systems that merely provided information to drivers.

Mazda aims to use the trials to establish usable ITS technologies which can be introduced in the near future to reduce the number of traffic accidents and lessen the impact of transportation on the environment.

Along with Mazda, are Hiroshima’s local government, academia and industry which all will take part in the public road tests as part of a consortium formed during last year's Hiroshima Conference on ITS Validation on Public Roads.

why is my 89 eagle summit (4G61 1.6L mitsubishi) chewing through timing belts in less than 10 miles/belt?

this vehicle was given to me. I'm trying to figure out why the car obliterates timing belts within 10 miles. I think that it may be because the first one broke, then the valves got bent, subsequently causing a camshaft to occasionally lock up, resulting in the belt walking toward the block, and getting shredded. I haven't torn the engine apart yet, as I want to make sure I'm sure of the problem. any help would be appreciated!
My father in law thought the same thing, so he replaced the idler pulley. the timing belt walked off before and after...no change that I'm aware of. the tension is set by a hydraulic cylinder/damper that is pinned in place. I haven't yet checked to see if the cam sprockets are true and square...perhaps I should, but the car is in a barn a few miles away.

If it has bent valves it will not drive 10 miles - it most likely will not run at all.. If the belt is being damaged that quickly you need to check for misalignment - most likely of the idler / tensioner assembly and for smooth rotation of the Idler / tensioner pulley bearings. Timing belts need to be correctly tensioned also - either too loose or too tight will cause very rapid failure. Also make certain that there are no foreign objects inside the belt cover and that the cover it's self is not damaged or improperly installed causing it to wear on the belt.

I changed a belt once and about a thousand miles later the belt tensioner spring broke and the spring went right through between the belt and the crank pulley - flattened that coil spring right out before the belt finally shredded!
