Drifting

Just wondering if anyone has had this problem, the driver side front and back lever keeps drifting down just sitting there in my driveway, and the main slide on the driver side comes out about 3-4 inches out by it self just sitting there. Now when we were at the Rally in Goshen this year they made a adjustment to the big slide because it would not close all the way when it was in the closed position. I'm wondering when they made adjustment to the slide did they it adjusted to much and the slide is under strain. The hydrolic reservoir is filled to the line.

Sounds like you might have a slight leakage in the holding valves/solenoids near the hydraulic pump. See if you can down load the owners manual for the hydraulic pump and follow the trouble shooting guide. The other possibility is when you had all the jacks down and slide out you sucked in some air and the air will compress some allowing the drift. Follow purging air in the owners manual.

Also look for any signs of oil leaking from the hoses and rams.

Might check that the allen head screw on the end of each of the solenoid valves is fully counter clockwise.
