Big Foot leveler lubrication
I've heard that the levelers should be lubricated but I can't find anything from the company that says this should be done and if so, how frequently. Quadra's manual doesn't mention it and I reached out to them a few days ago and haven't heard anything. Anyone out there doing this that can share their experience?

Thanks!

Hi, Ray.

The Bigfoot User Manual (from 2018?) includes this statement in the "General & Limit Switch Maintenance" section:

"If your cylinder chrome shaft/rod is exposed (not a square jack), spray dry teflon spray on the shaft when leaving for long period of time, more frequently if by the ocean or salty environment."

We have the Quad Pump system on our 2011 MB.  I spray the cylinders and limit switches with dry teflon three or four times a year and before every extended trip (week or more).  We keep a can in the rig.  I also remove and clean the limit switches every year.

Here's a link to the Quadra Support page: Bigfoot Hydraulic Leveling System Support.  It hosts a link to the manual.
