Lippert Components Electric Slideout System - Manual (Page 4)

PRIOR TO OPERATION
Prior to operating the Lippert Electric Slideout System, follow these
guidelines:
1. Coach should be parked on the most level surface available.
2. Leveling or stabilizing system should be actuated to ensure coach will
not move during operation of Slideout System.
3. Be sure battery is fully charged.
4. Be sure to keep all persons and pets clear of Slideout System during
operation.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The Lippert Electric Slideout System has been static tested to over
4,000 continuous cycles with out any noticeable wear to rotating or
sliding parts. It is recommended that when operating in harsh
environments (road salt, ice build up, 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.
Electrical System Maintenance
For optimum performance, the slide-out 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 electric actuator
motor for corrosion, and loose or damaged terminals. Check motor
leads under the trailer chassis. Since these connections are subject to
damage from road debris, be sure they are in good condition.
Note: The Lippert Electric Slideout System is designed to operate as a
negative ground system. A negative ground system utilizes the chassis
frame as a ground and an independent ground wire back to battery is
necessary (see page 19 for wiring diagram). It is important that the
electrical components have good wire to chassis contact. To ensure the
best possible ground, a star washer should be used. Over 90% of unit
electrical problems are due to bad ground connections.
Mechanical Maintenance
Although the system is designed to be almost maintenance free, actuate
the room once or twice a month to keep the seals and internal moving
parts lubricated.
Check for any visible signs of external damage after and before
movement of the travel trailer.
NOTE: For long-term storage: It is recommend that the room be closed
(retracted).
