SECTION 5-SLIDEOUT SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SLIDEOUT
If the slideout does not move when the slideout switch is depressed, follow these steps.
Check the auxiliary battery (customer supplied) for a full charge and good wire
connections.
Check the 12-volt fuse or circuit breaker.
Check for loose connections at the slideout motor.
If the slideout still will not operate, follow these steps.
If the slideout is extended, refer to the following section on overriding the specific
slideout system installed on your RV.
If the slideout is retracted, leave it in that position.
Contact your dealer or customer service for repair assistance.
Lippert slideout System (flush floor)
For optimum performance, the slide-out system requires full battery current and voltage.
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 the room be closed (retracted).
MANUAL OPERATION
The Lippert Electric slide comes with a manual over ride system.
Locate the crank extension with pin outside of the chassis main rail as, Fig. 1, shows
underneath the unit on the end of the motor (If your crank extension is under the inside of
the frame, please refer to Fig. 3 and 4).
This is where the crank handle (standard fifth wheel landing gear crank handle) or 3/4” or
5/8” socket (size will vary depending on model) and ratchet fits on to allow the manual
extension/retraction of the room, Fig. 3 and 4. Simply take the crank handle (through-
frame models) or wrench, ratchet or drill with a nut driver (in-frame models) and rotate it
clockwise to retract and counterclockwise to extend slide-out.
It is important to note that you DO NOT need to attempt to disengage the motor as the
actuator is “manual ready” Just hook up and crank. Use EXTREME CAUTION when
extending and/or retracting room using the manual override feature. It is possible to
operate the slideout beyond the maximum extension and/or retraction and damage the slide
components, slide room structure or trim components.
CAUTION
Always disconnect battery from system prior to manually operating system. Failure to
disconnect battery can cause electricity to back feed through the motor and cause
serious damage to the system as well as void the warranty
CAUTION
The gears can be stripped out if the room is manually retracted/extended to its fullest
extent and the operator continues to rotate manual override. Any damage due to
misuse of the Manual Override feature will disqualify any and all claims to the
Limited Warranty.
