Not exactly on the topic but I had an experience with my unit this past weekend. Had it parked on my yard and ran my shoreline cord under the unit into a receptacle in my garage while the jacks were down. Retracted the jacks later because of a lot of rain to avoid soft ground and yard damage. When I unplugged to put cord back into storage it had got caught in the jack pad and ram and pinched the cord to a point where I had to cut cord and repair. Moral of the story: don't run cord under unit with jacks, or check position of cord to prevent problems when retracting.
