HYDRO FLUID

Good afternoon all.
My question is when checking my hydro fluid for the slides ( in the closed position ) it showes 1/2 full.
I was talking to a teck. at a RV repair shop and he said not to go over 3/4 full.
Keystone web site says to fill withen 1/2" from the top. when all are out it still shows a little fluid in the tank
I have 4 slides and the living room is the biggest and the last to extend out and the last 2 times it had a little trouble towards the last 6 inches or so. I know that my battery could have been a little low but I'm not sure about that.

Mine is filled to a line about three quarters from the top when all slides are in.

Yes, Fill to the line with all slides in and landing gear up. basically only check when it is attached to the truck. They do not ship full from the factory, and it is normal to have to add some.

You were not specific on the slide issue, if stop and go, and repushing the switch, consider the breaker issue identified previously on the forum. . Like others, we replaced the 50 amp with 80amp breakers. Re fill, keep ours couple inches from the top when fully closed.
