Hi All,
I just noticed yesterday that I had a slow drip coming from the very front, middle of the coach. Extended the generator and noticed hydraulic drops all along the slide ram.
Where we're at, our leveling has the front of the coach practically touching dirt, so I can't get very far under the coach to assess much more, but it is my belief at this point that either the ram is leaking or one of the hoses.
I'd like to cap and plug off the generator ram so that we don't drop a bunch of fluid every time we put the slides in or out until we can get it fixed. But I'm having trouble identifying which lines from the manifold are for the generator ram.
We're HWH and have 2 slides (flat floor salon and non-flat floor bedroom) plus the generator slide.
Our manifold has the 12 of the older T handle solenoids split across 2 connected manifolds. I presume 6 for front slide (EXTEND, RETRACT, LOCK, UNLOCK, FLOOR UP, FLOOR DOWN), 4 for rear slide (no FLOOR), and then 2 for generator EXTEND and RETRACT.
I've tried looking at all of the labels that are still attached to find the solenoids for the generator, but rather than being labelled as the generator slide, I have 3 ROOM EXTEND, ROOM RETRACT pairs.
The HWH docs don't show a diagram for this configuration. They just show a config for 10 solenoids / 2 rooms. Their diagram shows the flat floor as the lower manifold and the bedroom as the top. I'm assuming that the generator option just replaces the top with another 6 solenoid manifold and that the generator slide is on the end, but I don't want to get caught out by a bad assumption.
I'm also trying to figure out the hoses -- which is my ultimate goal, of course, so I can cap/plug the hose and manifold. There are only 3 hoses on the back of each manifold block. From the HWH docs, it looks like the cap end comes into the back of the manifold and the rod end comes in the top or side. What's odd to me is that my lower manifold only seems to have 2 rod end lines coming back into it.
And lastly, are these all JIC 1/4" ID hydraulic connectors?
