HWH leveling system 310

I can't get my jacks to come up last time out had to use "T" handles to get them up. all lights on panel work as they should. sprayed with WD-40 too!

    They CLOSE clockwise. Counter clockwise they open. OPEN them and see if all 4 jacks extend. IF they do, then all 4 solenoids are probably burnt out. BUT, you check for 12 volt power at each solenoid when either retracting or extending to verify the 4 fuses for the solenoids are not blown. What will burn out a HWH solenoid is IF it has power for more than 15 minutes. The solenoids are momentary (no more than 5 to 7 minutes at a time) coil solenoids. LONGER than that and they will burn up. A common reason to burn 1 or all 4 is when you try to retract and one jack does NOT fully retract but you can travel,so you leave it in STORE mode while traveling. After about 15 minutes all 4 solenoids will burn out IF 1 or more jack down lights stay ON. Once the last red down light goes out the retract timer shuts the system off. Doug

    I agree with Doug. The shuttle valve or the plumbing in that area should be the problem.
    See the hydraulic schematic about halfway down the document.

    The shuttle valve has nothing to do with his problem NOW. It was probably the cure for his previous problem. The T handle solenoids are on the hose side of the manifold. The shuttle valve is BEFORE the T handle solenoids. So, if all 4 jacks extend and then retract when he stops extending, then the T handle solenoids are the cause. I doubt all 4 solenoids are bad.

    You have NOT closed the T handles. That is the reason they retract as soon as you stop extending. Close them. Doug

  • You are not explaining your problem correctly. From your post you seem to state that you DID get the jacks up by opening the T handles. Is that correct? If ALL 4 jacks would NOT come up unless you released the T handles, but all 4 jacks WILL extend with the T handles closed, then the SHUTTLE valve needs replaced. Explain all the parameters more fully. Doug
  • The 14 year old springs probably need replaced. If the solinoid or valves we not working you would not be able to push the jacks up.
