WARNING
FAILURE TO ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING
MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

The Lippert Flush Floor Slideout System is intended for the

sole purpose of extending and retracting the slideout
room. Its function should not be used for any other
purpose or reason than to actuate the slideout room. To
use the system for any reason other than what it is
designed for may result in damage to the coach and/or
cause serious personal injury or even death.

Before actuating the system, please keep these things in

mind:

1. Parking locations should be clear of obstructions that

may cause damage when the slideout room is
actuated.

2. Be sure all persons are clear of the coach prior to the

slideout room actuation.

3. Keep hands and other body parts away from slideout

mechanisms during actuation. Severe injury or death
may result.

4. To optimize slideout actuation, park coach on solid

and level ground.

DESCRIPTION
The Lippert Flush Floor Slideout System is a rack and pinion style slide
system. Utilizing a bi-directional electric motor to actuate the drive shaft,
the slideout room is extended and retracted from the same source. The
actuator has a built-in automatic clutching feature. The Lippert Flush
Floor Slideout System is designed as a negative or positive ground
system.

The Lippert Flush Floor Slideout System is mounted into the frame and
allows the floor of the slideout room, in the fully extended position, to be
flush with the floor of the coach.

There are no serviceable parts within the electric motor. If the motor
fails, it must be replaced.
Disassembly of the motor voids the warranty.

Mechanical portions of the slideout system are replaceable. Contact

Lippert Components, Inc. to obtain replacement parts.

 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

The Lippert Flush Floor Slideout System has been designed to require
very little maintenance. To ensure the long life of your slideout system,
read and follow these few simple procedures.

WARNING
DO NOT WORK ON YOUR SLIDEOUT SYSTEM UNLESS
THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED.
FAILURE TO ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

• When the room is out, visually inspect the Inner and Outer Rail
Assemblies. Refer to Fig. 1 for location of inner rail assemblies.
Check for excess build-up of dirt or other foreign material; remove
any debris that may be present.
• If the system squeaks or makes any noises it is permissible to apply
a coat of lightweight oil to the drive shaft and roller areas but remove
any excess oil so dirt and debris do not build-up. DO NOT use
grease.

SERVICE

TROUBLESHOOTING

The Lippert Flush Floor Slideout System is only one of four inter-related
slideout room system components. These four components are as
follows: chassis, slideout room, coach and Lippert Flush Floor Slideout
System. Each one needs to function correctly with the others or
misalignment problems will occur.

Every coach has it’s own personality and what may work to fix one coach
may not work on another even if the symptoms appear to be the same.

When something restricts room travel, system performances will be

unpredictable. It is very important that slide rails, inner and outer, be free
of contamination and allowed to travel freely the full distance. Ice or mud
build-up during travel is an example of some types of contamination that
may occur.

When beginning to troubleshoot the system, make sure the battery is

fully charged, there are no visible signs of external damage to the
actuator, motor or rails and that the motor is wired properly and all
connections are secure.

You can adjust room extension by modifying the position of the rack gear
on the inner rail to the spur gear on the gear assembly.

IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS CONSULT YOUR

LOCAL AUTHORIZED DEALER OR CALL LIPPERT AT:

The Lippert Flush Floor Slideout System can be timed and fine-tuned for
optimum performance. In the event the travel of either side of this two-
rail system should be out of time, follow this process for re-timing the
slide-out room.

Note: When addressing issues regarding your slide-out room,

remember to relay the information from the OUTSIDE of the coach. This
note will help to standardize the information needed to be relayed to a
service station or technical service at LCI.

Timing Adapter- (Fig. 6, #2)

1. Turn off engine. (Class A and C motorhomes)
2. Disconnect battery or slide-out motor wire leads. (Only one of
the motor leads need be disconnected.)
3. Remove nut (Fig. 6, #13) from bolt (Fig. 6, #10).
4. Remove bolt from Timing Adapter. This frees the Timing
Adapter from the gear assembly drive shaft.
5. Rotate drive shaft towards outside of coach until the next set of
holes on the Timing Adapter line-up.
6. Return bolt to Timing Adapter assembly in new location.
7. Return nut to bolt and snug firmly.
8. Reconnect motor wire or battery
9. Draw room into coach.
10. Repeat process as needed.

Alignment Plate – (Fig. 6 #8)

1. Turn off engine. (Class A and C motorhomes)
2. Disconnect battery or slide-out motor wire leads. (Only one of
the motor leads need be disconnected.)
3. Loosen both nuts (Fig. 6, #13, not shown) from both bolts (Fig.
6, #11) on Alignment Plate.
4. This allows for a free rotation of Alignment plate.
5. Rotate drive shaft towards inside of coach until room is in
alignment from right to left.
6. Tighten nuts on bolts on Alignment Plate assembly in new
location.
7. Reconnect motor wire or battery
8. Draw room into coach.
9. Repeat process as needed.

During troubleshooting, remember, by changing, altering or adjusting

one thing, it may affect something else. Be sure any changes do not
create a new problem.
 TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

Notes: If the slideout room will not retract there is a manual override that is located on
the opposite side of the slideout room. A crank handle is provided with your unit. Once
you have the room in the closed position take your unit to the closest dealer. See page 8
for Manual Override Instructions
Switch related problems:
• If room moves opposite from what the switch plate indicates, reverse
the motor wires on the back of the switch (refer to the wiring diagram
page 13). Wire size must be 10ga. Min.

WARNING! – HIGH VOLTAGE

• If a gear is stripped, the entire gearbox must be replaced.

• If the room does not seal fully, refer to page 13.

TROUBLESHOOTING – POWER UNIT

Before attempting to troubleshoot the Power Unit, make sure an

adequate power source is available. The unit batteries should be fully
charged or the unit should be plugged into to A/C service with batteries
installed. Do not attempt to troubleshoot the Power Unit without assuring
a full 12V DC charge

The following tests require only a DC voltmeter (or DC test light) and a
jumper lead.

Step 1 - Attach voltmeter (or test light) leads to the negative and positive
switch terminals on back of wall switch (See Fig. 7). Does the meter
indicate 12V DC?
If YES, see Step 2; if NO see Step 3.

Step 2 - If YES, at the motor, check the incoming leads to 12V DC (if
necessary, disconnect leads at wire splices). Does meter indicate 12V
DC? If YES, Power Unit needs to be replaced. The motor is not field
serviceable. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR. If NO, Inspect all wires
and connections between the wall switch and the motor. Repair
connections as necessary. Recheck as in Step 1.

Step 3 - If NO, Inspect all connections between battery and switch.

Inspect 30A Auto-reset Circuit Breaker (See Fig. 7 for location).
Recheck as above in Step 1.

Since there are no field serviceable parts in the motor of the Power Unit,
electrical troubleshooting and service is limited to replacing only those
components as previously outlined.

Thorough inspection of wiring and connections is the only other electrical

service that can be performed.
