Introduction
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Your Power Gear Slideout System is a rack and pinion design operated by a pair of
12 Volt DC electric motors.
MAJOR COMPONENTS
· Inner rail assemblies are designed to support the room weight.
· The 12 Volt DC gearmotor will operate the room using power from the battery.
· Slideout systems are equipped with a manual override that allows you to extend
/ retract the room in the event of a loss of power.
· A specially designed control that gives the user full control of room movement, in
or out. The control has programmable stops that stop the motor when the room
is fully extended or retracted and the ability to detect faults for ease in
troubleshooting.
Your Power Gear slide-out system has been designed to require very little
maintenance. To ensure the long life of your slide-out system read and follow these
few simple procedures.

Two different versions of touch pads are used on this system (see figure 1). Unless
otherwise noted, all operation of the control is the same regardless of which touch
pad comes equipped with your coach.
Touch Pad “A” has two LEDs. Fault code is indicated in Red and room/lock
movement is indicated in Green.
Touch pad “B” has four LEDs. Fault codes and low voltages are indicated in Red and
room/lock movement in Green. With this touch pad if the Park Brake LED is flashing,
you need to engage the park brake to operate your slideout system and if the Low
Voltage LED is flashing, you will need to start and run the coach or generator to
operate the slideout system. Let the engine/generator run for a few minutes to allow
the batteries time to fully charge before operating.
Note:
▪ The system will not work until stops are properly set or faults are cleared.
▪ The GREEN LED indicates system operation. (Figure 1)
◦ A solid GREEN LED indicates room movement
◦ A flashing GREEN LED indicates room lock movement, if room is equipped
with room locks.
▪ The RED LEDs indicates a fault or problem with the system (Figure 1). Refer to the
Fault Diagnostics in this manual for additional information.
▪ Prior to moving the slideout room, make sure the engine or generator is running to
ensure ample voltage to the motors and the parking brake is set.
EXTENDING THE ROOM
1. The engine or generator must be running or apply shore power.
2. Set the park brak and level the unit.
3. Remove transit bars (if so equipped).
4. Turn ‘ON’ the on/off switch or key (if so equipped).
5. Press and hold the OUT button (Figure 1). If equipped with electronic room locks,
the room locks will retract prior to room movement. Reference the GREEN LED
indications above to determine component movement.
6. Release the button when room is fully extended and stops moving.
7. Turn 'OFF' the on/off switch or key (if so equipped).
RETRACTING THE ROOM
1. Follow steps 1-4 above and then continue below with step 5.
5. Press and hold the IN button (Figure 1) If equipped with electronic room locks, the
room locks will automatically extend when the room is fully retracted. Reference
the GREEN LED indications above to determine component movement.
6. Release the button when room is fully retracted or when the room locks are fully
engaged and stop moving.
7. Turn 'OFF' the on/off switch or key (if so equipped).

Fault Diagnostics
M²-Sync Room Slideout System
This control has the ability to detect and display several faults. When a fault is detected,
the room movement will stop, and two different LEDs will flash in a pattern.
•The Fault Code LED (Fig 1) will flash a number of times corresponding to a specific fault
code. Refer to the Troubleshooting charts on the following pages to best determine what
caused the fault.
•The Green Room Movement LED (Fig 1) will flash a number of times corresponding to
which motor had the associated fault (or with battery Voltage faults, will flash once to
signify the start/end of the flashing fault code).
Remember to use the correct troubleshooting chart depending on which Touch Pad you
have.
For example, if you have Touch Pad Version A, and you are seeing
5 red flashes & 2 green flashes
it means your slideout is drawing excessive current on motor #2.
There are 2 types of faults (Minor & Major) and a fault must be cleared in order for the
room to operate.
•MINOR faults can be cleared by pushing the IN and OUT buttons on the wall touch pad
•MAJOR faults must be cleared by pushing the Set Stops/Clear Faults button located on
the back of the wall touchpad (Fig 2). This is done to alert the user that there is a major
problem with the system and to prevent damage to the slideout room. Note: For major
faults, the control must be overridden by following the Emergency Retract Mode in the
Override Modes section of this manual, and the control must then be programmed by an
authorized dealer when the problem is fixed

After the room has been
moved in the desired direct-
ion, the brake levers on each
motor MUST be returned to
the "engaged" position.
When the motor brake is
disengaged the slideout
room will not lock into place;
therefore, the room will not
be sealed. When the room
has been manually retracted,
be sure to install the transit
bars (if so equipped) and
return the motor brake lever
to its normal engaged
position in order to seal and
lock the room into position.
Do not travel unless each
motor brake is in the
"engaged" position!
Override Modes
M²-Sync Room Slideout System
WARNING

!
CAUTION

!
During override mode the
control has no stop
locations. Use another
individual to assist in deter-
mining when the room is
retracted. Damage to the
room can occur during over
travel.
In the event of component failure or loss of system power, your system can be
manually overridden.
NOTE: At anytime during the override procedure, the unit will exit override mode if the
room had not been moved for 2 minutes (note: on early production models, the 2 minute
timeout was only 45 seconds) or if a fault is detected during overriding, the Fault Code
and Room Movement LED’s will flash rapidly for 10 seconds to indicate that the override
procedure failed. After 10 seconds of flashing, the control will automatically default to fault
code 1 (stops not
programmed) and the override mode must be re-done.
NOTE: The room control will need to be re-programmed by an authorized dealer after the
system has been overridden.
A. Emergency Retract Mode - use this procedure when there is NO loss of power or
electrical problem with the system.

2. Prior to clearing the major fault, write down the
number of flashes that you are seeing in the table below.
This information will help your dealer / service center in the
troubleshooting of the slideout system.
CCD-0002533

The system has been equipped with ¾” hex override couplers located on the back
side of the motors. Due to the size and weight of the room, assistance will be
needed and care taken during the process. Use the following steps to mechanically
operate the room:
1. Locate each motor and ¾” hex coupler. (Figure 4)
2. Unplug each motor connector.
3. With your thumb, depress the spring lock lever on the right hand side of the boot
cover. Then, rotate the override lever counter clockwise with your index finger to
disengage the motor brake. (Figure 5)
4. If enough people and wrenches for each override coupler are
available, the room can be moved in or out quickly as long as all shafts are turned
at the same time. Use a wrench or socket and ratchet to turn each override
coupler in the direction required.
NOTE:
If only one or two people are available to move the room the following
procedure must be followed:
·Start at the front of the coach, release the motor brake, rotate that shaft
approximately 1/8 turn, re-apply the motor brake.
·Proceed to the next rail with motor. Release the motor brake, rotate that
shaft approximately 1/8 turn, re-apply the motor brake.
·Repeat this procedure until the room has been fully opened or closed as
desired.
5. Once room is fully retracted, re-engage brake lever on motor. (Fig 5)
6. Reconnect the motor leads to the connector.
7. Take the unit to an authorized dealer for service.
If the room has been moved
while the motor sensing
control harness has been
unplugged, do not attempt to
use the room again until a
service center has
reprogrammed the
computerized controller
according to the service
manuals instructions.
Failure to reset the controller
may cause damage to the
system or coach.
