TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
The folowing troubleshooting chart outlines some common problems, their causes and possible
corrective actions. When reference is made to a "Power Unit," the term includes the motor and
the actuator as a complete unit. All Power Units are shipped from the factory with a serial number
and date code, which should be given to the service technician when asking for assistance.
PROBABLE CAUSE
Restriction or obstruction inside or outside of unit
Low battery voltage, blown fuse, defective wiring
Excessive room drag
Motor turns, room does not move
Broken gear on drive shaft
Broken gear in gearbox
Bad motor or gearbox
Low battery, poor ground, extremely low
temperature
Room in bind
Incorrect height adjustment
Low battery voltage, blown fuse, defective wiring
Obstruction of room inside or outside
Dirts or corrosion build up on mechanism
Teeth on gear drive broken or worn
Teeth on inner rail broken or worn
Notes:
If the slideout room will not retract there is a manual override that is located on the opposite the
motor on the gearbox. Once you have the room in the closed position take you unit to the closest
dealer. See pages 9-11 for Manual Override Instructions.
Switch related problems:
• If room moves opposite from what the switch plate indicates, reverse the
motor wires on the back of the switch. Wire size must be 10ga. min.
• If a gear is stripped, the entire gearbox must be replaced.
