Hydraulic generator Bay occasionally moving forward

Recommended Posts

And, some hydraulically operated generator slides just use hydraulic pressure to hold them in.  So, could just be a leaking somewhere in the system leaking down. Any sign of hydraulic fluid leak either at the hydraulic pump/solenoid, lines to the generator slide or slide cylinder itself?

Suspect it will  be the same as found on other Monaco products of that vintage.

Hope someone with first hand information will chime in.

Ours is a very simple system. One designated Pump, two hoses and one cylinder. We have a switch in the right front electrical panel and one at the driver. There is a light on the instrument cluster “GEN OUT” and an ignition lock out so you cannot open it while driving. 

I am guessing the cylinder is crossing fluid internally or the pump is bleeding fluid pressure off. Most hydraulic hose shops that do pump work could test the components if they were pulled and dropped off. On ours everything is out in the wide open.
