brown774 Report post Posted November 25, 2021 We have 2007 Monaco Diplomat. Do we leave the hydraulic jacks down for storing long term? Thank you for input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would definitely spray them down with WD-40 and wipe them off before retracting them. The dirt and dry shafts could damage the seals. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossboyer Report post Posted November 25, 2021 This is true, but remember that WD-40 is really a cleaner and doesn’t privide lubrication. Since HWH states that you can use Automatic transmission fluid in their hydraulic system, you could after cleaning us it sparingly to lubricant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted November 26, 2021 I would recommend reading what HWH has to say. https://www.hwhcorp.com/ml47149.pdf My opinion is You can leave them down but clean and lube them before retracting them to prevent damage to the seals. But it's your money. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
