HWH jacks

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Hi Randal.

You have had some very good ideas from the guys here. One other option on
the slow leak down and re level some are going through are the T handle
manual release valves on top of the 4 control solenoid valves located under
the step area. A check there to be sure vibration has not loosed the jam
nuts might be a good idea as well. As to the leakage on the rear cylinders,
it has been said, actuate them to allow the scrubber o-rings to clear the
path for the pressure o-rings, though usually once damaged they are not
self healing.

Need to have a look at the sequence of operation diagram and by doing that
you will know how the fluid is supposed to work and that knowledge allows
you to trouble shoot effectively before you go to a repair facility. That
tells you, with out doubt that your getting what is needed done and not a
"let's stick this problem on too," type of bill.

Charolette and I are headed out in the morning for a trip south and when I
get back I will pull out my books and post the 7 different HWH system
schematics to the Forum.

Yes, I too, am a Factory certified HWH tech.

Safe travels,
