Maintaining Your Investment...
• If the system squeaks or makes any noise, apply a coat of lightweight oil to the drive
shaft and roller areas. Remove excess oil so dirt does not build-up.
• On motorhomes with a flush floor slideout, a light coat of silicone spray is
recommended one time per year. To apply the spray, lift the carpet flap. Using a light
coat of spray, make one pass all along the glide bar. It is recommended that this be
done prior to each camping season.
Caution: Use only a silicone spray to lubricate the glide bar. Other lubricants may
attract dirt and oils which will stain the carpet.
• If you have any problems or questions consult your independent, authorized dealer or
call Power Gear at 1-800-334-4712.
Troubleshooting Electric Slideout
If the slideout does not move when the slideout switch is depressed, follow these steps.
• Check the battery for a full charge and good wire connections.
• Check for loose connections at the slideout switch, motor and relay module (if
applicable).
If the slideout still will not operate, follow these steps.
• If the slideout is extended, see the section on overriding the electric slideout system.
• If the slideout is retracted, leave it in that position. Install the "travel bars" and "tie
down strap" (if applicable)
• Take the motorhome to a independent, authorized dealer or service center.
If the slideout extends crooked, or only one side moves, follow these steps.
• Follow steps on overriding the slideout system to disconnect the motor according to
directions which apply to your motorhome.
• You may need to push the side that is not sliding to get it to retract all the way.
• Once the slideout is fully retracted, install the "travel bars" and "tie down strap" (if
applicable).
• Take your motorhome to a independent, authorized dealer or service center.
Overriding the Electric Slideout System
If the system will not move when the switch is pressed, check the following:
• Is the battery connected and does it have a full charge?
• Are the travel bars and tie down strap (if applicable) removed question
After checking the above, follow these steps to move the slideout manually:
1. Rotate the lever on the back side of the motor counter-clockwise about 1/8 turn
(Fig. 31). This will release the brake that locks the slideout in place.
2. Access the manual override. For some models it is located in front of the slideout
rail assembly and for other models, it will be found behind the drivers seat.
= For models with the override in front of the slideout rail assembly, using a 3/4" or
1/2" drive rachet with a 3/4" socket, crank the slideout until it is fully retracted (or
extended).
= For models with the override behind the drivers seat, using a 3/4" drive rachet with
a 1-1/8" socket, crank the slideout until it is fully retracted (or extended).
