Jack will Not Fully Retract

Hi folks,

1994 Barth Regency here... had problem with left front jack not coming up and the JACK light staying on. I finally got under the rig and used foot pressure to push it some but not all the way. The JACK light did go out, but it is not fully retracted.

Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated? Thanks very much, group.

If you have HWH jacks that kick down before the cylinder extends, and fold up after the cylinder retracts, there is a small roller (the exact location of which I cannot visualize at the moment - the Barth is in storage) which may be rusted, or lacking lubrication. That roller must be free or it creates enough friction to prevent the jack from folding up. Been there, done that.

I don't have a picture, and a thousand words won't describe what I'm talking about. Get out and get under to look at it, & you might find your problem.
