Dewald Slide System Problem
This is a six year old unit with no prior problems and no adjustments made since delivery.
Tonight when closing the slides the pump continued to run for a short time after releasing the switch inside the unit, then shut off. I figured it blew a fuse or tripped a breaker. Couldn't find either had occurred so operated slides to out position and everything worked properly. So now I figure inside switch may have stuck momentarily. Closed slides this time using switch on pump itself. Same result with pump continuing to run momentarily after switch release. So, it doesn't appear to be a sticking swith itself as both switches produced the same result, and then only on retraction.
Has anyone had a similar problem and how was it corrected? Is there an extend/retract limit switch someplace that may need adjusting?
The only other thing I see that may be abnormal appeared in an earlier post I can't locate now regarding the locknut adjustment on the hydraulic ram. I think it was mentioned there should be some slack here, but these are up tight against the bracket that the ram connects to, and again it's been like this since delivery six years ago. Thanks, all help appreciated.
