Hydralic landing gear clicking off

Our Wildcat 25ft 5th with Hydraulic landing gear and hydraulic slide clicks off after about 3-4 seconds putting the front legs down - but doesn't when we put out the slide.Waiting about 5-6 seconds we hear a click and it works for about 3-4 more seconds and dies again.Doesn't seem to be Loading up{bent legs},usually use white lithium grease on them,and they will go down,you just have to wait your way through the Internal circuit breaker clicks??? A dirty filter somewhere I don't know about?? Ideas???

  • Thanks,The Last trip we took,the Hyd Legs went down OK,but would stop on the way back up "ONLY".??? They'll move about 2-3 inches goin up and then that click and the Click-off is in the hyd unit.??? Actually sounds like a {little to small} Fuse in the Hyd Unit itself.
  • Perhaps something similar to what's happening with some Montana units, especially if the hydraulics are by Lippert. Keystone used an inadequate auto-reset 40a circuit breaker. My 6-point levelers, and sometimes my slides, will pause while the circuit breaker overheats and resets. Lippert's fix is to replace the 40a breaker with an 80a one.
