Chapter 9 - Care and Maintenance
It may be necessary to lubricate the slide assembly (rollers, slide tubes, lever as-
sembly) once a month with light oil to prevent rust buildup. This may be required
more frequently due to road spray (salt, sand, dirt, etc.).
If you park your unit for long periods of time, run the room in and out 2–3 times to
keep the moving parts lubricated and the seals moving more freely.
Keep the slide room away from tree branches. Visually inspect the room and awning
before retracting. Branches rubbing against the room while retracting could cause
damage to the seals.
Whenever possible, wipe down the exterior walls before retracting the room to
prevent water from draining onto the carpet.
The rollers under the slide room are not sealed rollers, therefore, some residue may
appear on your carpet. This is a normal function, so be aware and take proper
precautions. Vacuum the carpet after each extension of the slide out room.
Verify that your house batteries are fully charged before operating the room.
In areas where the hot sun constantly beats down on the motorhome, shading the
tires by covering can reduce tire sidewall cracks from forming. Tire covers can be
purchased at any motorhome supply store. Check your Chassis Owner’s Manual for
the tire rotation requirements. Due to the weight of the motorhome you should have
a qualifi ed service center rotate the tires if recommended by your chassis manufac-
turer.
To lubricate the elevating gear, apply a liberal amount of silicone spray lubricant to
the elevating gear with the lift in the down position. Run the lift up and down a few
times to distribute the lubricant over the gears.
If rotating the antenna becomes diffi cult, lubricating the bearing surface between the
rotating gear housing and the base plate can restore operation. Any spray type sili-
cone lubricant may be used.
Elevate the antenna and remove the set screw from the rotating gear housing. Spray
lubricant into the hole and around the edges of the gear housing. Rotate the gear
housing until the lubricant coats the bearing surfaces and the antenna rotates freely.
Replace set screw.
Some motorhomes have a satellite dish. Elevate the dish and spray all hinge areas
with a silicone spray. Rotate the dish and spray the base plate with a silicone spray.
Continue until the elevation and rotation is free of resistance. Wash the dish surface
and LNBC with a mild soap and water solution.
