One wing will lift, other will 
not.

Oil accumulation.

Uneven opener depth.

Openers worn.

System pressure too low.

Assembly.

Restriction in line.

Internal cylinder leak.

Damaged seal.

Loose fittings.

Scored cylinder shaft will damage 
shaft seal.

Normal.

Refer to Operation Section on depth adjustment.

Check tire pressure.

Replacement necessary.

Refer to Operation Section on setting maximum 
system pressure.

Replace worn openers.

Repair pump.  Pressure relief valve needs resetting.

Foreign material or sticking.
Check compatibility.
