PowerGear levelers shudder

The Power Gear Levelers (PN 140-1226) on my 2008 Winny Adventurer Limited shudder for a moment when the rig has been leveled and I turn off the engine. The rig drops perhaps a half inch.

Fluid level is fine. I contacted Lippert and they responded that I should take the rig to a dealer- which I would love to do but am not driving four hours- thank you very much. Lippert then sent me the user manual which I already had and is of no use.

In all other aspects the system works fine except for the recent shudder when the engine is turned off. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.
  • Did you read the manual and ever lube them? Usually available on line.

    Thanks for the thoughts. I lube the legs with silicone prior to retraction and use white lithium grease on the zircs.

    I have read the manual and this issue is not covered in the troubleshooting discussion.

    The mystery continues...
