Power Gear Slim Rack Slideout System
The Power Gear® Slim Rack slideout is typically
used for slideouts 144" long and longer.
It is operated by a 12VDC electric motor.
The system is equipped with a manual override allowing the room to be extended
/ retracted in the event of a power loss.
The system has a controller (Fig 1) with programma-
ble stops that stop the motor when the room is fully
extended or retracted.
The controller has the ability to detect faults for easier
troubleshooting.
A wall mounted touchpad allows room movement and
provides end user feedback.

nostics / Troubleshooting).

tem motor, power should be supplied from one of the following
