step air leak

[Gregory OConnor]

Ernie, I had the same prob as a symtom to a bad seal in the ram. When
I would tug the step fully open the air hissing would stop. (My
94pt40 has a non spring ram with two air ports) If you remove the ram
and blow air in, to push the stroke out , the air should stop blowing
out the other port when the stroke bottoms out. if the air continues
to blow out the other port the seal is bad in the ram. You may be
able to remove both airlines to the ram and test it without removing
the ram first. I tried to split the ram open to replace the seal but
the Clippar ram used on my bus could not be serviced.
