HWH leveling jacks

[Mike Hohnstein]

Verify the reservoir is full when the jacks are retracted. It is possible the
actuator is malfunctioning. Actuator is the little thingy on the side of the
main cylinder, they tend to leak.
HWH is a good outfit and as I'm only a half day drive from them, I head over
there when I have service issues, they work cheaper than I'm willing to. They
will provide the information for trouble shooting your unit, over the phone.
The system is straight forward, the valve body levers trigger a micro switch
when moved that starts the pump, the individual valves flow to the appropriate
cylinder and pressurize it as long as the lever is held on, until fully
extended, or reservoir runs dry. Use Dextron ATF only.

I plan to call HWH, but maybe I can get the answer here.
My jacks have worked perfectly and this weekend I used them twice. The
third time the right rear jack would not drop down. It would move a
little, but stop. I noticed that the jack was extended about 2 inches.
I tried several times but no good. When i packed up and retracted the
rest of the jacks I noticed the 'bad' jack was retracted. I suspect it
will work now, but don't want to take the chance that it would deploy
and not retract.

How does the jack actually work. I understand that there is a
system for lowering the jack assembly and another for extending the
shaft to raise the coach. Is this how it works?
