    Aquired a 1974? Hi-Lo from father in law-need help

    Hutchinson, ks. The camper is in the street in front of my house so there isnt much room to work on it and I definately am not going to crawl under it. If the weather clears up, im going to pull it to work and do what was suggested and use a floor jack and some 2x4's to try and lift the top...

    Lifting the top off the safety bar seems to be the issue. The top is up. It was up when we got it. Father in law says to lift the top up just a little, then pull the release cable, and push the toggle down to lower. But the top wont budge. It seems like its maxed out in the up position...

    I found the owners manuals after some snooping! According to the manual, the pump SHOULD run in the 'down' position. Am i reading this right?

    Is the pump supposed to run when u lower it? Also, if i turn the manual release valve all the way to the left as to release pressure,and pull the safety release, it still does nothing. If the solenoid is bad, could i just use an old Ford solenoid? Thats kinda what it looks like

    The top was up when we got it. My dad said that ur supposed to lift the top up just a bit so that you can unlock to saftey in order for it to go down. The screw i adjusted was a large flathead and had a cap on it. When the top is up, you just have to pull the release and it comes down?

    I went by the markings on the side of the gallon jug i was using and by the filling instructions elsewhere on the site in that the fluid level should be about an inch from top. I did that and the top still wont rise. The pump made a high-pitched squeal and i adjusted the pressure relief screw...
