Question:
one of my hydralic leveling jacks is very slow to retract. it takes about 3-4 minutes. Is this normal? do i need a new spring? It is the farthest one away from my pump.

It is normal for your Lippert hydraulic jack to take 3-4 minutes to retract, according to my contact at Lippert.
You really will only have to worry about operation if you aren't able to manually retract the jack. There should be a plug you can remove on the top or bottom of the jack that allows you to use a tool to adjust the trailer jack height. All Lippert electric and hydraulic landing gear jacks for RVs have a manual override feature according to my contact at Lippert.
