You can help mix what you added by cycling the entire six legs and hydrauilc slides several times..

This will max the fluid and will also purge an6 air that might be in the lines or actuators..

The slides also use the same reservoir so that’s why I suggest cycling them

Stiction is a known nuisance with hydraulic systems .. aircraft landing gear struts also often stick when the aircraft lands after flight and there is less fuel on board..

We wiped the exposed struts down with hud fluid prior to fueling to help keep the outer dust seal pliable and also let the struts settle better.

The same applies to the hydrauilc levelers..

My system is nine years old.. Lippert six point level up with 3 hydraulic slides.. I uses home made blocks of wood under all six leveler feet that are about 5 inches high.l

This keeps more of the piston inside the actuator case resulting in less issues with stiction
