Replace solenoid Ball Cage.
Replace solenoid seat.
Remove valve closure and check piston guides to make sure they operate freely within
their respective seats.
Check down control fluid strainer assembly for lint. If clogged remove debris (in this case oil in
the system should be filtered).

Send car to upper floor. Open main power disconnect switch.
Close pit valve. If car still drifts the leak is in the jack assembly.
Turn ML (Manual Lowering) screw out (CCW) and then turn in (CW) fully to insure a good seat.
Turn DA (Down Acceleration) adjuster in clockwise (CW) fully. If leak stops, this indicates a
leak at the down solenoids. Replace D and DL solenoid seats. Refer to Solenoid Kit #292920.
