Lubing automatic landing gear

Question

I have automatic landing gear levelers, not sure of the brand though.

With my 5th wheel I would lube the landing gear on the front and the stabilizing levelers in the rear. However, with these auto levelers on my motor home I'm not sure exactly how to go about it or even if I should.

If they should be lubricated which product would you recommend and how often should they be lubed?

Thanks for the help.

While they are extended, spray them with silicone spray. You can do a search in the forum &amp; find more details.

If they are HWH, do not use silicone or use WD40 to remove the silicone.

If the jack rod has been greased or silicone sprays have been used on the jack rod, use WD-40 to loosen the grease or silicone and wipe the rod clean.

HWH uses ATF for lube.

Glad I read this thread. Our HWH jacks have grease fittings. they have been lubing them with lithium grease. Might have to wash the rods down and use a lot of WD40 on them. Hadn't been greasing them until we were at a Rally in La. The dust is so fine as to not bee seen, however the jacks didn't want to retract and the awnings made a terrible racket retracting.
I hope the jacks haven't been damaged.
