NOTE: For long-term storage: It is recommended that the room be closed

(retracted).

Visually inspect the Slide Floor and Drive Box Assemblies. Refer to Fig. 1 for

location of rail assemblies. Check for excess build-up 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 build-up. DO NOT use grease.

WARNING!

DO NOT WORK ON YOUR SLIDEOUT SYSTEM UNLESS THE BATTERY IS

TROUBLESHOOTING

The Lippert Above Floor Slideout System is only one of four inter-related slideout

room system components. These four components are as follows: Chassis,

Slideout room, Coach and Lippert Above Floor Slideout System. Each one

needs to function correctly with the others or misalignment problems will occur.

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 room travel, system performances will be

unpredictable. It is very important that slide rails, rack and pinion be free of

contamination and allowed to travel freely the full distance or “STROKE.” Debris

may build-up during travel is an example of some types of contamination that

may occur.

When beginning to troubleshoot the system, make sure the battery is fully

charged, there is no visible signs of external damage to the actuator, motor or

rails and that the motor is wired properly and all connections are secure.

You can adjust room extension by modifying the position of the rack gear on the

slide floor rail to the pinion gear on the gear assembly.

During troubleshooting, remember, by changing, altering or adjusting one thing, it

may affect something else. Be sure any changes do not create a new problem.
