Landing gear

[meinsc]

Front hydraulic landing gear won't work. Lawn chairs were put in the front where apparently the landing gear is. It apparently got jammed or something and won't work at all now. Any advice will be appreciated

Is that on a bus truck or airplane?

There is a self resetting breaker (about an inch wide small breaker on the hot wire going to your hydraulic pump. Check that breaker as they are known to fail. It should be in the front storage bay and looks like what's pictured. It is a known issue on hydraulic leveling system. Many have changed the 50 Amp breaker to an 80 amp one. Easy fix for $15-30. You can bypass the breaker to test or temporarily use if that is the issue.

Remove the lawn chairs

Not sure how they would cause Hydraulic Landing Gear on front of 5th wheel to jam.....Hydraulic is high pressure
(If NOT a 5th wheel then they are just Hydraulic JACKS not landing gear)


Does it make any noise
Is this a 'complete system' ----all work at same time
OR
Individual operation?

Check Fuses/DC Circuit Breaker for the Hydraulic Pump/Motor

And for God's sake, tell us where you are. Landing gear might not work in California but will work just fine in Florida.

Oh sorry. I thought this was the Rant thread.

Hopefully you were able to get things working. If so, would love to hear what the issue was and the solution in case one of us run across the same problem in the future.

Safe travels...
