I didn't see what type of jacks we're talking about so this may be off base. When one of my RVA jacks refuses to retract, its usually because one of the solenoids hasn't released the fluid. The solenoids are connected to the hydraulic jack pump and easily released by turning the T handle counter clockwise. You shouldn't fill the system with all the jacks retracted, the directions for RVA jacks says to put the front jack down about half way, then fill the reservoir.

For RVA Jacks. Doug

To properly set the fluid level for your coach, use the following procedures:

Extend any jack 6" with other jacks fully retracted
Unscrew reservoir cap from top of pump reservoir.

If the red light and bong are giving a warning

Slowly add fluid until the red light and bong turn off

If the red light and bong are NOT giving a warning

Use a suction device to slowly remove fluid until the alarm turns on

Setting the fluid level with these procedures ensures that the alarm will sound if one jack is extended 6" or any combination of jacks are extended 6". Please note: The alarm system will no longer provide an alarm and a jack could be extended 6". Ensure jacks are physically checked for full retraction prior to moving the coach. The "All Jacks Retract" switch position provides an easy way to automatically hold all the "Retract Valves" open for four minutes. Four minutes is more than enough time for all jacks to fully retract.
