Just got it delivered today. Among other problems, my front left jack wont retract.
Does anyone have a fix? Its rather urgent.

Thanks for any help.

bummer on the stuck levelor!

The powergear system used in these is pretty simple, a hydraulic pump, 3 pressure valves (front, left rear, right rear) and one dump valve.

This is a one way system, it pumps the jacks down, but simply releases pressure and lets the springs pull them back up.

If the other 3 jacks retract, then you are simply dealing with a mechanical problem with that one, it's physically sticky. the front jacks are paired, so just find a way to get under it and force it up. As the left goes up the right will come down a bit.
Hopefully once you get her excercised a bit she'll behave.

Thanks for the reply. How do you force the jack up if the coach is resting on it? I dont have a floor jack to get the leveler off the ground. I looked for a manual release on the pump, thinking the valve could be stuck, but I dont see one.

I fixed it. I bought a floor jack, lifted the coach by the stuck jack, and opened the hydraulic line, torqued the jack foot to make it straight and it went up.

I am removing the fuse for the levelers cuz now theyre all up and will stay that way.
