mounting location must be watertight.
2. Install the user interface per OEM recommendations using two OEM-supplied #8 x 1"
self-tappingscrews.
Fig. 7
3. See the Wiring Diagram section in this manual for wiring instructions.
NOTE: Additional wiring MUST use 10 AWG minimum and conform to current RVIA electrical standards.
Post-Installation Check
1. If operating a motorized coach;
A. The PARKING BRAKE must be engaged.
B. The transmission must be in PARK.
C. The on/off ignition position (Class A and C; Gas and Diesel) is determined by the OEM of the coach
being serviced. Contact the OEM of the coach for the correct ignition position for this procedure
before proceeding.
Moving parts can pinch, crush or cut. Keep clear and use caution.
2. Make sure the slide-out room path is clear of people and objects before and during operation of the
slide-out room.
3. Always keep away from the slide rails when the room is being operated. The gear assembly may pinch
or catch on loose clothing causing personal injury.
4. Keep stored items in compartment clear of slide-out motor mechanisms and wiring to prevent
interference of slide-out operation.
5. The 12V DC battery disconnect should be in the ON position.
NOTE: Batteries MUST be tested under a load to get an accurate reading. Use a multi-meter to ensure the
battery is fully charged, the multimeter must read 12.5V - 12.7V DC for a full charge.
6. Make sure the unit is level.
7. Extend and retract the slide-out to verify correct hard stop positions and good seal of the retracted
room to the unit. See Operation section.

Rev: 11.27.19 Page 10 CCD-0002710
Operation
Make sure the unit's T-molding and interior (determined by OEM) are installed prior to operating the
slide-out. Make sure the battery is fully charged and hooked up to the electrical system.
Extending Slide-Out Room
1. Press and hold the rocker switch in the OUT (Fig. 8A) position until the room is fully extended and
stops moving.
NOTE: Only hold the switch's OUT position until the room stops.
2. Release the switch, which will lock the room into position.
3. Check hard stops for proper location and desired extension of the slide-out.
Retracting Slide-Out Room
1. Press and hold the rocker switch in the IN position (Fig. 8B) until room is fully retracted and
stopsmoving.
NOTE: Only hold the switch's IN position until the room stops.
2. Release the switch, which will lock the room into position.
3. Check hard stops for proper location and desired retraction of the slide-out.
Fig. 8

B
Hard Stops
Without hard stops, the interior trim and the outside slide flange become soft stops and can be damaged
since the slide controller or motor clutch will not be able to shut the system off.
The hard stop will allow the motor to clutch, or the control box to sense the amperage spike, when the slide
motor is stopped. The stops shut down the slide-out system, protecting the drive shaft, shaft bolt and the
crown gear.
Room extension adjustments are made by repositioning the stop blocks on both ends of the hat channel.
A ⁄" hex wrench is used to set stop block positions. Go to Room Stop Adjustment section for instructions
on how to set hard stop locations to ensure proper slide-out seal-in and seal-out.

Rev: 11.27.19 Page 11 CCD-0002710
Troubleshooting
If, after slide-out assembly and slide-out room installation is complete, slide-out does not perform as
expected, make sure the battery is fully charged then for check the following:
• Slide rails and rack and pinion are free of dirt, debris or other types of contamination restricting travel.
• No visible signs of external damage to the motor, assembly or rails.
• The motor is wired properly and all connections are secure.
During troubleshooting, changing, altering or adjusting one component may affect another. Make sure any
changes do not create a new problem.
Slide-Out Concerns
During retracting of the slide-out, if the top or bottom of the room hits the opening before its opposite side
does, then the room is tilted and must be re-leveled. The drive-side and idler-side adjustment assemblies
(Figs. 3 and 4) may require an adjustment to one or both of the adjustment bolts.
1. Use a 1 5/16" wrench to back outloosenthe 7/8 - 14 UNF jam nut (Fig. 9A) a few threads.
2. Use a 9/16" wrench on the adjustment bolt (Fig. 9B) to raise or lower the tilt angle of the slide-out until
the slide-out is level.
NOTE: Check level of slide-out after eachadjustment.
3. After the slide-out has been leveled across the drive-side and idler-side, tighten the 7/8 - 14 UNF jam
nut (Fig. 9B) against each base's fixed stop nut (Fig. 9C).
4. Do a final level-check on the slide-out before operating the slide-out for tilt adjustment verification.

Rev: 11.27.19 Page 12 CCD-0002710
2. At the motor end, use a 7/16" wrench to remove the 1/4" - 20 bolt (Fig. 10A) and nylon locking nut
(Fig.10B) from the outer x-shaft (Fig. 10C).
NOTE: This is the part that allows the follow slide to be adjusted, pulling the room closer to or further away
from the wall at the idler end.
Fig. 10
Syncing the Slide-Out
When the two opposing sides of the slide-out are misaligned—out-of-sync—an adjustment can be made to
realign—sync—the system by performing a manual adjustment of the outer x-shaft (Fig. 1).
Before accessing the power unit, make sure power to the system has been disconnected.
The slide-out adjustment for syncing the LCI Above Floor Slide-out is handled through the drive shaft(Fig.
1).
To sync the slide-out system, do as follows:
1. Access the slide-out's drive-side rail assembly (motor end) (Figs. 1 and 3).
NOTE: The slide-out shaft will be accessible from the inside of the unit. The slide-out motor and mechanism
are accessible from the outside.
Always disconnect battery from system prior to manually operating system. Failure to disconnect
battery can cause electricity to back feed through the motor and cause serious damage to the
system as well as voiding the warranty.

drive-side end.
4. Align the closest hole on the outer x-shaft with the through-hole on the drive shaft (Fig. 11),
then reinsert the previously removed (step 2) 1/4" - 20 bolt and locking nut (Fig. 12) to secure the
syncedslides.
Fig. 12
5. Reconnect internal and external power to the unit.
6. Using the switch (Fig. 8), operate the slide-out system to make sure the drive-side and idler-side are
properly synced.
7. If rail assemblies remain out-of-sync, repeat steps 1-6 until both rail assemblies become synced and the
room operatesnormally.

Rev: 11.27.19 Page 14 CCD-0002710
Switch Related Concerns
If slide-out moves opposite from what the rocker switch's switch plate indicates, reverse the wires from the
motor on the back of the switch. Wire size must be 10 AWG minimum. See Wiring Diagram.
NOTE: The use of heat shrinkable butt connectors, a crimp tool and a heat gun may be required to
complete the reversed wiring connection.
• Black wires are ground
• Yellow wire is "out" or extend
• Green wire is "in" or retract
• Red wire is power
Motor Unit Concerns
Before attempting to troubleshoot the power unit, make sure an adequate power source is available. Do
NOT attempt to troubleshoot the power unit without assuring a full 12V DC charge.
NOTE: Batteries must be tested under a load to get an accurate reading.
The following tests require only a DC voltmeter, or a DC test light, and a jumper lead.
1. Attach voltmeter, or test light, leads to the negative and positive switch terminals on back of the
wallswitch.
2. Check the incoming leads to 12V DC. Does the meter indicate 12V DC?
NOTE: If necessary, disconnect leads at wire splices.
A. If yes, the power unit needs to be replaced.
NOTE: The motor is not field serviceable. Do NOT attempt to repair.
B. If no, inspect all wires and connections between the wall switch and the motor.
I. Repair connections as necessary.
II. Re-check voltage per step 1.
3. If meter still does not register 12V DC, then:
A. Inspect all connections between battery and switch.
B. Inspect any and all breakers, relays and fuses.
C. Re-check switch terminals step 1.
Since there are no field serviceable parts in the12V DC motor, electrical troubleshooting and service is
limited to replacing only those components. Thorough inspection of wiring and connections is the only
other electrical service that can be performed.
