Leveling or stabilizing system should be actuated to ensure coach will not move during operation of Slideout System Be sure battery is fully charged Be sure to keep all persons and pets clear of Slideout System during operation RO N gt 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 pag
3. THE FOLLOWING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH The Lippert Electric Slideout System is intended for the sole purpose of extending and retracting the slideout room Its function should not be used for any other purpose or reason than to actuate the slideout room To use the system for any reason other than what it is designed for may result in damage to the coach and or cause serious injury or even death Before actuating the system please keep these things in mind 1 Parking locations should be clear of obstructions that may cause damage when the slideout room is actuated 2 Be sure all persons are clear of the coach prior to the slideout room actuation 3 Keep hands and other body parts away from slideout mechanisms during actuation Severe injury or death may result 4 To optimize slideout actuation park coach on solid and level ground Description The Lippert Electric Slideout System is a rack amp pinion guide system utilizing an electric ball screw actuator to move the room assembly The motor drives the ball screw in a forward and backward motion to drive the slide room in and out The actuator comes equipped with an automatic clutching system The Lippert Electric Slideout System is designed to operate as a negative ground system PRIOR OPERATION Prior to operating the Lippert Electric Slideout System follow these guidelines Coach should be parked on the most level surface available
