Since this is about hydraulic slide systems, thought I'd ask about a problem I am having. Just bought a used '05 36TK3 and everything has worked fine for the little amount of time I have had it. However, when trying to raise the bed, it doesn't work, and it appears the bed slide is trying to move--just a slight movement in/out depending on which way the button is pushed on the bed lift.
All the slides work fine, and the problem exists whether the bed is in or out.
It did work fine the first 2-3 times I used it just to see how it works.
From reading earlier posts, I have determined that the valves are all open fully to the stops, and there is plenty of fluid in the resevoir when all slides are in.

Any suggestions?
