a couple of my HWH jacks would take 4-5 minutes to retract. I wiped the jack rods down with ATF. They now take 35-45 seconds to retract.
When they get slow again I will wipe down again.
4 to 5 minutes is within HWH specs for retract. NOT good, but within specs. As the OP stated, having to wipe down or clean occasionally is not fun to do. What you are doing is a work around for the real problem. BUT, it does save you a lot of money by not replacing the defective cylinders. Under HWH warranty, they would replace those cylinders that take that long to retract. The TEST for a bad seal is this. You extend all 4 jacks for 24 hours and then retract. Time how long it takes each jack to retract. ANY jack that tales longer than 5 minutes has a defective internal seal. Doug
