SERVICE TROUBLESHOOTING The Lippert Embedded Rack 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 Embedded Rack 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING CHART The following troubleshooting chart outlines some common problems, their causes and possible corrective actions. When reference is made to a “Power Unit,” the term includes the motor and the actuator as a complete unit. All Power Units are shipped from the factory with a serial number and date code, which should be given to the service technician when asking for assistance.
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 14). 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 10.
