PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE The Lippert 3 x 3 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. CAUTION DO NOT WORK ON YOUR SLIDEOUT SYSTEM UNLESS THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED. • When the room is out, visually inspect the Inner and Outer Rail Assemblies. Refer to Fig. 1 for location of inner rail assemblies.
Mechanical Maintenance Although the system is designed to be almost maintenance free, actuate the room once or twice a month to keep the seals and internal moving parts lubricated. Check for any visible signs of external damage after and before movement of the travel trailer. NOTE: For long-term storage: It is recommend that the room be closed (retracted). SERVICE TROUBLESHOOTING The Lippert 3 x 3 Slideout System is only one of four interrelated slideout room system components.
ROOM ADJUSTMENT The Lippert 3 x 3 Slideout System can be timed and fine-tuned for optimum performance. In the event the travel of either side of this tworail 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.
