    got home this evening to find the jack legs of the manitou telescopic fully down but i can't get them to come back up - theres plenty of hydraulic oil and the legs will go further down if lever is pressed. anyone know if theres a kill switch or any such button to stop them coming back up. I'll have to have a better look in the morning as it was black dark this evening and i'd no torch. Can't find any manual online

    Retract both lenghts of the arm. theres a sensor on one of them that means you have to have them fully in to lift the jacks.

    Well Dan,
    I'm here to make sure odelay gets his money. I switched the hoses around to get the legs back up but there was a valve sticking which was the problem, easy enough sorted by my mechanic when it was daylight.
