Default Pitbull Lift Oops

Made a big mistake with my pitbull lift this morning. Was jacking the bike up and the safety stop legs flipped over. They are a little loose so they fell all the way over away from the stop blocks. Was not paying attention and and one of the legs hit the bracket that holds the caster wheel. I made a couple of extra pumps on the jack before I realized what was happening. Wound up bending the bracket so the jack sits on 3 wheels now. Will have to bend the bracket back so everything sits level again. And I will tighten up the stop legs so they stay up in the air when letting the jack down.
Just beware so it doesn't happen to you.

Mine flipped over too and I didnt know it. I also pumped until it didnt go and higher. The caster didnt bend. I am getting a new base though cause the stops are welded on wrong, so it wouldnt of mattered if it did. That sucks yours bent.
