ELECTRIC BEDROOM SLIDEOUT MAINTENANCE
Electric slideout drive mechanisms do not require lubrication as part of the scheduled maintenance. Some noise is
normal during extension and retraction from the various moving parts and seals.
IMPORTANT
Newmar does not recommend the use of grease, silicone, or WD-40 on the slideout tubes or chains, as these
products tend to collect dirt and dust.
If lubrication is desired, Newmar recommends using a light coat of LPS 1 Greaseless Lubricant, which provides a dry
thin lubrication film that is resistant to dirt and dust buildup.
HOW TO MANUALLY RETRACT AN ELECTRIC
BEDROOM SLIDEOUT
Provides three possible methods for manually retracting a bedroom slideout if it will not retract on its own.
IMPORTANT
Prior to proceeding with a manual retraction procedure, make sure the ignition key is in the off position and
the park brake is set. Then, try retracting the slideout again, as some controllers require the ignition to be off,
and others require the park brake to be set.
WARNING
The manual retraction procedures are for emergency use only. These procedures bypass all normal safety
features. It is the responsibility of the person(s) performing the procedure to watch for moving parts and
pinch points in order to avoid injury.
PROCEDURE 1
This method requires the motor and gear box to be operational. This procedure bypasses the slide controller, switch,
and the wiring. If battery power is unavailable or the motor/gear box is inoperable, move to procedure two.
