Found another problem, solved Retarder problem

[Larry]

Hi Jim,
I have a leveling jack that continues to set off the warning buzzer when I start
the CAT, it is annoying to listen to when troubleshooting the problems with the
retarder... checking the level master I can see which jack has set off the
alarm... I then drop the jack and get it in a position where it stops the
buzzer, while testing for the retarder, this is when I discovered the voltage
drop when the leveling master was on, and then I noticed the drop in voltage on
the gauge when it was turned on and the increase when it was turned off... I
have to get the jack fixed to stop the buzzer altogether, right now it is just a
location of the jack against the stop that sets it off... I have been removing
the sensor from the jack and cleaning the mating surface as well as the
ground... It stops for a while and then it starts up again, I am getting close
to getting it fixed, but not quite... I hope this answers your question...;-)

I just was wondering why you would have the leveler on when you need

the retarder??
