TROUBLESHOOTING-HLG
The Lippert XL Hydraulic Slideout and HLG System is a feature that allows the
owner more options and flexibility for quickly and effectively leveling his coach. It
is a totally integrated system with your coach’s chassis and electronics.
Every coach has it’s own personality and what may work to fix one coach may
not work on another even if the symptoms appear to be the same.
When something restricts mechanized travel, system performances will be
unpredictable. It is very important that leveling legs be free of contamination and
allowed to travel freely the full distance. Dirt, sand, mud and other contaminants
build-up during travel and can be potentially damaging to the performance of the
system.
When beginning to troubleshoot the system, make sure the battery is fully
charged, there are no visible signs of external damage to the legs, motor or
hoses and that the motor is wired properly and all connections are secure.
TROUBLESHOOTING-HYDRAULIC SLIDEOUTS
The Lippert XL Hydraulic Slideout and HLG System is only one of four
interrelated slideout room system components. These four components are:
chassis, room, coach, and Lippert Hydraulic Slideout and HLG System. Each one
needs to function correctly with the others or misalignment problems will occur.
Every travel trailer has its own personality and what may work to fix one trailer
may not work on another even if the symptoms appear to be the same.
When something restricts room travel, system performance will be unpredictable.
It is very important that slide tubes be free of contamination and allowed to travel
full distance (Stroke). Ice or mud build-up during travel is an example of some
types of contamination that can occur.
When you begin to troubleshoot the system, make sure the battery is fully
charged, there are no visible signs of external damage to the actuator or motor
and that the motor is wired correctly and all connections are secure.
You can adjust the room extension with the jam nuts on the end of the hydraulic
cylinder threaded rod (See pg. 17, Fig. 10).
During troubleshooting, remember that if you change something, that change
may affect something else. Be sure any changes you make will not create a new
problem.
