Hello All,
Have a 2014' Bighorn 3260EL. It has been sitting for the Winter months (outside in Oregon), and this week-end took it in to get new tires. Worked the auto-leveler to raise the 4 leveler jacks, then the front jacks. When I went to retract the rear jacks, it worked well for a while, then all of a sudden it stopped working (all but one jack was raised). I pushed the retract button again, nothing happened. I waited about 15 seconds, tried it again... and if finished retracting the last jack (driver side rear). Thought it might just be because it had been sitting for a few months.
Raised the front jacks to load on truck and all is well. Went to raise front jacks all the way after hitch was secured, and it stopped raising midway on the passenger side jack (I used the front switch to raise the jacks). Tried the switch again to finish raising the jack and nothing. Again, waited 15 seconds and it worked and raised where it needed to be.
When I got the rig back home and same thing happened (same jacks), used the front switch to disconnect from the truck, and auto leveler panel to level.
Once at home, I retracted the 4 rear leveler jacks (leaving only the 2 front jacks down). I looked at the hydraulic fluid reservoir and it shows about 2 inches below the fill line (see photo). Can this be the problem? If so, what type of fluid would you recommend? Any feedback would of course be highly appreciated. Thank you!
