ENTRANCE STEP

Covering Nicks and Scratches

• Seal any nicks or scratches with an automotive grade primer to prevent rust.
• Once the nick or scratch has been sealed, cover the damaged area with an automotive grade
high-gloss paint.

Lubricating the Mechanism

NOTE: It is recommended that you lubricate the
mechanism every 30-60 days.
• Carefully clean the area around the pivot points (Fig.
7-8) (the rivets involved in the motion of the
mechanism).
• After cleaning, lubricate the pivot points between the
parts (to pinpoint the area, locate the washer between
the parts). An automotive grade, non-staining
lubricant is recommended.
I
CAUTION: To prevent the possibility of a person slipping on the RV step, avoid letting any
excess lubricant come in contact with the surface of the RV step itself. Carefully clean the
entire RV step after lubricating the mechanism.

SLIDEOUT

Your Power Gear slideout system has been designed to require very little maintenance. To ensure a
long life of your slideout system, read and follow these simple instructions.
I
CAUTION: Do not work on your system unless the battery is disconnected.
1. When the slideout is extended, visually inspect the inner slide rail assemblies (Fig. 3-6 in
Chapter 3). Check for excess build-up of dirt or other foreign material; remove any debris
that may be present.
2. If the system squeaks or makes any noise, apply a coat of lightweight oil to the drive shaft
and roller areas. (Fig. 3-6 in Chapter 3) Remove excess oil so dirt does not build-up.
3. If you have any problems or questions consult your local Jayco dealer or call Power Gear
1-800-334-4712.
