Section 5: Slideout Systems
Power Gear Ram Slideout System
Typically used for Class C motorhomes.
Manual Override Procedure
The system has been equipped with 3/4” hex override couplers located on the drive compo-
nent of the system. Due to the size and weight of some rooms, assistance may be needed to
push the room in.
Use the following steps to mechanically operate the room:
1.
Locate the ABS motor access cover for the slideout.
This cover will be located inside one of the storage
compartments under the slide room up at the top of the
compartment.
2. Remove 4 screws holding the panel to the top of the
compartment. Remove the cover.
3. Unplug the motor leads at the connector. Gray connec-
tor with red and black wires.
4. To release the motor brake you must depress the spring
lock lever, which then allows you to pivot the brake le-
ver, which in turn releases the brake. These parts are
located inside the rubber boot wire tied over the mo-
tor. You must manipulate these parts
without
removing
the rubber boot.
As noted on the side-by-side photo,
removing this boot will void your motor warranty.
These photos will help you figure out how this works.
The side-by-side photo (below) shows the spring lock
lever and the brake lever.
5. The spring lock lever is a thin metal arm with a slight
bend at the end, which will hold the brake lever in the
released position.
6. The brake lever is the heavier thicker metal arm with
the hole in the end.
7. The normal position for these two levers is to be par-
allel to each other as shown in the first side-by-side
photo. The motor brake is engaged with levers side by
side.
8. The brake lever is moveable; the spring lock lever is not
moveable. To release the brake lever, you must push the
bent end of the spring lock lever away from the brake
lever; this will allow you to pivot the brake lever so it
moves over on top of the spring lock lever. The bent end
will hold the brake lever in the released position. (photo
shows this “bend”).
9. Once the brake motor is released, you will need to re-
move the skirting on the side of the slideout floor where
the hex override is located.
10. Use a ratchet with a 3/4” socket (or wrench) to turn the
hex override and manually move the slideout.
