6-point maintenance

[bennettommyd]

Did a search and didn't find anything. What maintenance does anyone do on the jacks. The front right seems to be sticking. I hear a rubbing noise and the rig rocks a little going up. Maybe a seal going bad? I generally wipe the pistons down with some silicone spray prior to raising them when hooking-up.

Occasional wipe is all that is required according to my dealer.

Last year we lost a footpad on one of our jacks. It was missing when we arrived at our stop for the night. Lippert replaced it for us and said that they now recommend Loctite on the threads of footpad retaining bolts. I recommend periodically checking to see that the footpad retaining bolts are tight also.

Other than wipe-downs don't do anything but check fluid res, check for leaks, use wood pads under all leveler pads always. John

Yes check those footpads. We have never done anything but keep then clean, check fluids, chack for leaks.

This likely is *NOT* a maintenance/lubrication issue but rather it is indicative of a bent leg (aka piston). Extend the legs as far as it will go and check the leg (all the way around) with a straight edge.
