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 over-
ride allowing the room to be extended / retract-
ed in the event of a power loss.
The system has a controller (Fig 1) with pro-
grammable 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.
Operating the Slideout
The slideout will not function until the stops are properly
set or faults are cleared.
A solid "ON" GREEN LED indicates room movement.
The RED LED indicates a fault or a problem with the
system. (Refer to the Fault Diagnostics / Troubleshoot-
ing).
Prior to moving the slideout room set the parking
brake.
To ensure ample voltage is being supplied to the slideout
system motor, power should be supplied from one of the following sources:
Attach the RV to shore power.
Have the motor home engine running.
Turn on the generator.
Extending/retracting the room
1.
Engine or generator must be running, or plugged into shore power.
2.

Fault Diagnostics / Troubleshooting
The control has the ability to detect and display several faults. When a fault is detected,
room movement stops and two different LEDs will flash in a pattern.
The RED FAULT CODE LED will flash a number of times corresponding to a specific fault
code (refer to the Fault Code Chart).
The GREEN ROOM MOVEMENT LED will flash GREEN a number of times correspond-
ing to which motor has the associated fault.
Example: (4) RED flashes and (2) GREEN flashes indicate a motor fault on motor 2.
