1. Will the jack retract at all?
2. If it does retract a little, does it then stop once it clears the ground?
3. If it does NOT retract at all, you have a solenoid for that jack not opening. If you have the HWH operators manual, it will show you how to open the solenoids manually to allow retraction IF it is an electrical malfunction.
4. There are 4 hoses at the pump. The outer 2 hoses go to the rear jacks. then inner 2 go to the front. Open up BOTH the outer solenoids with the spring release if you have the new style solenoid. If you have the old, then unscrew the 1/4 inch nut instead. If the jack will still not retract but does move a little, and you can get a lever bar under it, pry/lever the jack up all the way, then close the solenoids. If you have the lever it up, then the jack needs replaced. Doug
