The press cylinder of the Dover MARATHON V-6030 HD may slowly drop down due to oil leakage in the cylinder. To address this issue, check the cylinder for bypassing. If leakage is detected, the seal kit should be replaced, and the rod and cylinder tube should be inspected for scoring or nicks. If damage is found, necessary repairs or replacements should be made.
