General Requirements
•
Power and wiring MUST be such that there is not less than 10.5 running volts supplied at the motor
leads under maximum load.
•

1.
procedures and location.
For sealing the screws used to attach end brackets, Power Gear recommends RTV silicone, rubber
2.
gaskets, or closed cell foam gaskets. DO NOT use any type of sealant putty as this can intrude into the
mechanism and possibly cause the system to malfunction.
With Drill Fixture
A. A Drill Fixture (Fig. 1) is used to pre-drill the mounting holes for the end brackets and maintain
even spacing between the upper and lower gear rack arms. Even spacing between the gear rack
arms and the location of the end brackets is critical for proper operation of the slide-out. Drill
Fixtures are reusable from system to system. Drill Fixtures are not supplied with the system and
must be purchased from Power Gear to aid in assembly and reduce installation time.
B. Position the Drill Fixture so that the bottom flange of the fixture is pulled up against the bottom of
the room.
C. Move the Drill Fixture out so that it is up flush against the outer room flange.
D. Drill all 16 holes (4 per end bracket) with a #25 drill bit.
E.
Place the slide mechanism up to the side of the room and secure end brackets with button or pan
head #10 screws torqued to 40-50 in-lbs.
F.
Repeat steps A-E for the other side of the slide-out room. Proceed to step #3.
