f442485 Report post Posted February 3, 2017 Hi. I have a jack question to ask. My wife and I own a 2004 Holiday Rambler Endeavor with Power Gear hydraulic jacks. I'm not sure how to word this, but the jacks will not lift the coach to level it. It is a manual system. As soon as the jacks touch down (touch the ground) they stop moving. I can still hear the pump working, but no lift. I've checked the fluid level and its full. I tried to call Power Gear, but got no help. Any suggestions? I'm Rick Ammerman and live in Southern California, with my wife, Paula of 45 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abyrd Report post Posted February 3, 2017 Sounds like the pump is not developing designed pressure. I would first check to determine that you have proper voltage to the pump to insure pump is reaching designed RPM's. You can isolate one cylinder at a time to see if the pump capacity is capable to extend one cylinder at a time. You could have one cylinder that bypassing internally and preventing the system from reaching full pressure. Use caution when testing not to lift just one corner of the rig.

manholt Report post Posted February 12, 2017 Rich. When you say that your canister or reservoir is full...how full? up to line or over line? If over, you need to bleed off to line. Also, do you have the Power Gear with override? If you do, then go to manual and press on higher, it will lift all 4 corners at same time...but make sure first that your fluid is at proper level with all Jacks retracted ! If none of the above, then Google Power Gear and scroll down to the Hydraulic Jack parts list and problem solving...it's a PDF and you will need your 50-XXX-X number, then just scroll down to your system. I found out last July, that if all else fails, call the 800# during lunch hour and you'll get a very nice lady, who knows nothing about how the system works, but if you tell her that your an installer for system # bla, bla, and you have to get the customer out ASAP...She will fax or download the whole PDF on your system...I have 63 pages on mine! If you don't call when everyone is gone, you will get no useful info! Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alwillumitis Report post Posted February 13, 2017 I'm having the same problem with the Kwikee Level Best system on my 2008 Itasca. I understand that this is the same as :Power Gear. I have an extended warranty but have been told that the problem is either deteriorated inside of hoses and/or blockage in the valve body, neither of which would be covered under the warranty. The dealer, however said they would be happy to replace the hoses and rebuild the valve body for only $5000.00. I'm looking for a more cost effective solution Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
