Maintenance
1.
To ensure quiet and smooth operation of your Slide-Away, please regularly clean and lubricate the rail tracks
and main drum assembly.
This is recommended every 3 months or 6,000 km, or when you use it in muddy, sandy or dusty conditions.
2.
AVOID using petroleum-based lubricants given issues with rubber components, and AVOID tick greases as
these gather dust and dirt.
Please use only lubricants of a silicone oil-type after cleaning.
Spray lubes with PTFE (Teflon) seem to work best when regularly applied, wiped out and reapplied.
3.
To clean the tracks and the spiral track inside the main drum assembly, apply the lubricant to a rag and wipe it
inside of the rail tracks, along the underside of the sweep seal and the top of the wear strip.
Repeat until the dust has been removed. You can also use a high-pressure water gun if necessary and then make
sure all components have been lubricated.
DO NOT directly aim the high-pressure water jet at the motor/ECU/connector when cleaning, and do some
necessary waterproof protection for connectors/plugs.
4.
To clean the main drum assembly, disengage the clutch and run the cover out far enough that you can get into
the canister. Apply lubricant to a rag and wipe the inside of the main drum, including all components inside the
canister. Ensure the Drain Tubes are clear of any debris or blockage. Reassemble the cover.
5.
If you find that the brightness of the remote control signal indicator light is obviously weakened, or the button
indicator light does not on, please replace the battery in time (battery model: CR2016).
6.
To keep the Slide-Away in tip-top condition, we recommend washing it the same as caring for your vehicle’s
finish. A lack of proper cleaning and maintenance can affect the operation of the product and reduce its life.
