Hydraulic Leveler Not Retracting All the Way

Hi our rear passenger side Leveler on Winnebago Adventurer Model 38T is not retracting all the way. Therefore the "alarm" will not go off. Is there a simple way to service this until we get to the Dealer? New to Hydraulic and clueless. This is the second time we have had this happen the first time in Los Angeles Traffice but when we pulled over it came up. Now it will not.

Oil can attract and hold dust. Silicone spray is better. Extend as said above, spray, clean with a clean lint free cloth, spray once more and try to retract. If it is the spring, (our right rear has been weak for years) you can assist it up with a long lever.
