Motors and cables are behind the interior fascia board around the slideout opening.
Cables may stretch over time. Average stretch will be approximately 1/8" but it
will not affect the function and does not require adjustment.
Slideout runs off the DC power in the RV.
Rubber wipes prevent debris from entering the unit and actuation guides the bulb
seals to close tightly.
Self-locking motor freezes the room in any position of travel.
Slideout is supported by rollers or wear bars not the cables. Cables are used to
keep the slideout balanced on the rollers.
If the room will not activate, generally there is no 12V power to the drive motor. The mo-
tor is equipped with a hex drive override shaft. This drive can be activated using an electric
drill and the flexible shaft provided with each unit (or use a ratchet to actuate the motor) to
pull the room in or out. If the motor is functioning, check the room for obstructions.

OVER-TORQUEING CAN HAPPEN, RESULTING IN SEVERE DAMAGE.
Power Gear Slideout System
Manual Override - The slideout system is equipped with a manual override that allows you
to extend or retract the room in the event of a loss of power.
Always disconnect battery from system prior to manually operating
system. Failure to disconnect battery can cause electricity to back feed
through the motor and cause serious damage to the system as well as void
the warranty.
Use EXTREME CAUTION when extending/retracting the room us-
ing the manual override feature. The gears can be stripped out if the
room is manually retracted/extended to its fullest extent and the operator
continues to rotate manual override. Damage can also occur to the slide
components, slide room structure or trim components. Damages due to
misuse of the manual override feature will void any and all claims to the
Limited Warranty.
If the room does not move when the switch is pressed, check the following:
Make sure the slideout system is turned on.
Battery is fully charged and connected.
Transit bars have been removed (if so equipped).
When the motor brake is disengaged the slideout room WILL NOT lock into
place and will not be sealed. When the room has been manually retracted, be
sure to install transit bars (if so equipped) and return the motor brake lever to
its normal engaged position in order to seal and lock the room into position.
