HWH Jack Actuator 100 Series - erniecarpet@... - 11-13-2006 09:17

Stephen, I had to replace an actuator on my coach. I remember that with help-
Bim Burt- it took 2 of us to get that thing aligned on the main cylinder.
There are 2 ports on the cylinder that the actuator has to align to-- and the
original bands that hold the actuator on that cylinder do not give you any room
to align it easily. We went out and bought some worm drive large hose clamps
and used those to align it and tighten it so the original clamps could be used.
I did not, at the time try and rebuild the actuator- probably just O-rings.

HWH Jack Actuator 100 Series - Stephen H - 11-13-2006 13:27

Hello everyone! Im needing help with my jacks on the bus... Seems one
of the rear 9000# jacks wont go completely down, due to a faulty
actuator. The actuator gets stuck about 3/4 out and bogs the motor
down, therefore will not push jack completely vertical, and allow the
fluid to pass to lift the jack to raise it. The other ones have freed
themselves up well and work good. I was hoping in time, this one might
free itself--but after many tries, it just goes out the same amount
each time. The actuator rod does not seem bent. Just had the pump motor
rebulit, and installed a 150A Thermal breaker (just in case). Anyone
have one/or a spare jack lying around for parts? I believe HWH wants
$180.00 or so for a new one. Trying to repair this one, or find a part
to repair first. Any thoughts?
Thank you,

I will give HWH a call and see what they say. I can bet they will want to
sell a new actuator!! I may not have a choice.. Maybe could get a o'ring kit
from them.. I will find out tomorrow. Thanks for the great info!!!
