Room Slideout System
with Programmable
Control
Introduction
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Your Power Gear Slideout System is a rack and pinion design operated by a 12
Volt DC electric motor.
MAJOR COMPONENTS
· Inner rail assemblies are designed to support the room weight.
· The 12 Volt DC gearmotor will operate the room using power from the on-board
unit battery.
· Slideout systems are equipped with a manual override that allows you to extend
/ retract the room in the event of a loss of power.
· A specially designed control that gives the user full control of room movement, in
or out. The control has programmable stops that stop the motor when the room
is fully extended or retracted and the ability to detect faults for ease in
troubleshooting.
