GHS Hydraulic Swim Platform Problem

[Ranger Mike]

I have a GHS hydraulic swim platform. It works well but one side (STBD) moves up and down slower than the other side (Port). Anyone have the same problem? Is there a solution?

3 UNEVEN MOVEMENT One side of the platform moves faster than the other side.There is a possibility that one side of platform will move at a different rate than the other. The Hydraulic Manifold contains combiner-divider valves (see page 17-31) that regulate and equalize fluid flow to both lift cylinders. This valve is only 90% efficient, so you will notice some slight difference in the movement of the individual sides. However this difference will be minimal and should not affect the normal operation of the platform. If there is a significant difference in the rate of movement, try shifting the load toward the faster side. If the problem persists, follow the recommendations in the “TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE”

Thank you Shaps. I'll check it out. Mike

Does anyone know what type of fluid the hydraulic pump for the platform takes on a 2009 Sundancer 500?
