Slide creeps in, not out.
Earlier this year our HWH pump died and we had a Mobil Tech in Oregon replace it for us. Now the slide is creeping in about two inches.
The hydraulic lines were not opened and only the pump motor was replaced. I did have to crank the slide in by hand, something I would gladly pay to have done if another failure occurs.
I read somewhere in the HWH literature that the system was self bleeding, I can't find any info on bleeding the system.
Any ideas?
Update of sorts from 11-14, I have a limited education in hydraulics and I am not criticizing anyone's answer but I just don't understand how there can be pressure in a hydraulic system when the pump is off. Okay, with a check valve in place and when a system is pressurized there will be some static(I believe that's the right word) energy in the system but isn't it expended as soon as the system is operated with the pump off? My understanding is that a liquid(hydraulic oil in this case) cannot be compressed so, shouldn't even an itty bitty leak release the static energy instantly? How can there be enough energy to move my dinette/sofa slide 2 to 4 inches?
I truly do not understand.
