PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The Lippert Hydro-Sync Slideout System has been designed to require
very little maintenance. To ensure the long life of your slideout system,
read and follow these few simple procedures.
WARNING
DO NOT WORK ON YOUR SLIDEOUT SYSTEM UNLESS
THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED.
FAILURE TO ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
The Lippert Hydro-Sync Slideout System has been static tested to over
6,000 continuous cycles without any noticeable wear to rotating or sliding
parts. It is recommended that when operating in harsh environments
and conditions (road salt, ice buildup, etc.) the moving parts be kept
clean and can be washed with mild soap and water. No grease or
lubrication is necessary and in some situations may be detrimental to the
environment and long-term dependability of the system.
MECHANICAL
Although the system is designed to be almost maintenance-free, actuate
the room once or twice a week to keep the seals and internal moving
parts lubricated.
Check for any visible signs of “leaking” before and after movement of
the system and the coach.
When the room is out, visually inspect the Inner and Outer Assemblies.
Refer to Fig. 1 for location of inner assemblies. Check for excess
buildup of dirt or other foreign material; remove any debris that may be
present.
If the system squeaks or makes any noises it is permissible to apply a
coat of lightweight oil to the drive shaft and roller areas but remove any
excess oil so dirt and debris do not buildup. DO NOT USE GREASE.
ELECTRICAL
For optimum performance, the slideout system requires full battery
current and voltage. The battery must be maintained at full capacity.
Other than good battery maintenance, check the terminals and other
connections at the battery, the control switch and the pump motor for
corrosion and loose or damaged terminals. Check motor leads under
the coach chassis. Since these connections are subject to damage from
road debris, be sure they are in good condition.
