ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

For optimum performance, 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 motor for corrosion, and loose or damaged
terminals. Check motor leads under the motorhome chassis. Since these
connections are subject to damage from road debris, be sure they are in good
condition.

Note: The Lippert Sofa 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 12 for
wiring diagram). It is important that the electrical components have good wire to
chassis contact. Over 90% of unit electrical problems are due to bad ground
connections.

Note - Once the room has reached its fully extended/retracted
position, apply pressure to the wrench to firmly set the room. The
worm gear in the gear box will prevent the room from drifting in or out.

5. Using a 5/8 in wrench or socket/ratchet combination,
rotate the shaft in the clockwise to extend slideout room.
