Lippert Components 3 X 3 Slideout System - Manual (Page 9)

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The Lippert 3 x 3 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.
CAUTION
DO NOT WORK ON YOUR SLIDEOUT SYSTEM UNLESS
THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED.
• When the room is out, visually inspect the Inner and Outer Rail
Assemblies. Refer to Fig. 1 for location of inner rail 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.
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS CONSULT YOUR
LOCAL AUTHORIZED DEALER OR CALL LIPPERT AT:

The Lippert 3 x 3 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 3 x 3 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 15 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.
