Coachmen RV Aurora, Общее обслуживание и устранение неисправностей

SLIDE-OUTS
✔
The slide-out mechanisms are virtually maintenance free. Keep slide-out rails clean and free of dirt
and road grime build up. It is recommended that a dry silicone lubricant be applied to the slide out
rails, gears, and rollers.
DO NOT use petroleum based lubricants (grease) as they will collect dirt and cause premature wear
and tear.
✔
Batteries are very important to the operation of the electrically operated systems. The batteries
should be fully charged. Refer to Battery Maintenance procedures on page 31.
✔
Watch closely as the slide-out room is opened and closed. Be sure the operating area is free and clear of
any obstructions. Inspect room as it seals to the exterior wall when in the extended or retracted position.
✔
The slide-out room should not be extended or retracted too far (where the exterior wall moves
under pressure). The rubber seals should touch and achieve approximately 50% compression.
✔
Damage can occur if the in/out switch is held down too long.
✔
On manual crank slide-outs, DO NOT use an automated means to open and close (such as a cordless drill).
✔
Contact your Coachmen dealer if the slide-out requires service. Only properly trained personnel
should perform any adjustments or repairs.
HWH SLIDE-OUT & LEVELING SYSTEM - MOTORIZED
The slide out and leveling systems are integrated. They use many of the same components to operate.
Consequently, maintenance procedures for both are similar.
✔
In order for the slide out to work, the leveling system must be set and the unit level before extending.
✔
Periodically check accuracy of leveling system.
• Level the vehicle by placing a circular bubble level
in the center of the freezer floor or location within
the vehicle that is to be level. With the vehicle
level, adjust the sensing unit until all yellow lights
are off. This is done by drawing up the correspon-
ding screw if the sensing unit is mounted below
the surface as shown in FIGURE A or backing out
the corresponding screw if the sensing unit is
mounted above the surface. Bump the sensing unit
to see that it has settled down in the level position.
✔
Prior to each trip, check oil supply in hydraulic oil reser-
voir located at the pump assembly. The oil level should be approximately one inch below the top of the
reservoir when adequately filled. The jacks must be up and the room in. Use Dexron II or a high quality
multi-purpose automatic transmission fluid (ATF).
✔
Periodically inspect hydraulic hoses for cracks, nicks and cuts. Check hose connections for tightness.
Replace if necessary with HWH original parts.
✔
The batteries should be in good condition and fully charged. Weak batteries can cause erratic oper-
ation. Battery cable terminals and battery posts and connections should be kept clean. All electrical
connections, especially ground connections, should be clean, tight and free from corrosion. Refer
to Battery Maintenance on page 31.
✔
If driving conditions are unusually muddy, the jacks may become caked or clogged with mud. This
condition may hamper the proper operation of the leveling system. This problem may be prevented
or remedied by cleaning off each leveling jack if they become excessively muddy.
DO NOT move the vehicle while the leveling jacks are still in contact with the ground. Make sure the
jacks are in the store position and then visually check to see if the leveling jacks have returned to the
STORE/TRAVEL position.
✔
In wet or icy weather leveling jacks may become encrusted with ice. This may cause the leveling sys-
tem to function improperly. To eliminate this problem, periodically check the leveling jacks and
break loose any ice that may be causing improper operation.
