Slideout Systems
Maintenance
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 or external damage before and after movement
of the RV.
• For the best performance, the slideout system requires
the auxiliary battery be fully charged.
• Check for corrosion, and loose or damaged terminals/
connections at the battery, the control switch, and the
electronic actuator motor.
• Check that the motor leads under the RV chassis are in
good condition. These connections are subject to dam-
age from road debris.
• When operating the Lippert electric slideout system
in harsh environments (i.e., road salt, ice buildup, etc.)
keep all moving parts clean, washing them as needed,
with mild soap and water.
• Grease or lubrication is NOT necessary. It could even
harm the long-term dependability of the slideout system.
Service and adjustments
Any slideout room adjustments must be performed by a
certified RV service technician. Adjustments made by
non-certified persons may void any and all warranty claims.
For long-term storage, it
is recommended that the
slide rooms be closed
(retracted).
