Fluid Filling Procedure
The Lippert Hydraulic Slideout System uses automatic transmission fluid (ATF). Any ATF can be used. A full
synthetic or synthetic blend works best such as Dexron III or Mercon 5. For best operation, fill system to within ½”
of the top when all slideouts are completely retracted. The see-through reservoir makes it easy to check oil level. It
is recommended that the oil level be checked prior to operating the system. Make sure the breather cap is free of
contamination before removing, replacing or installing.
1. Remove Breather/Fill Cap.
2. Pour ATF into Breather/Fill opening.
NOTE: Do not allow any contamination into reservoir during fill process.
NOTE: Standard reservoir holds approximately 2 quarts (1.89 liters) of ATF.
3. Fill to within ½” of top.
4. Replace Breather/Fill cap when finished.
NOTE: System is self-purging. By simply cycling the system 2-3 times, any air in the system will be forced
back to the reservoir and out of the Breather/Fill cap.
