Preventative Maintenance
Your Power Gear 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:
•When the room is extended, visually inspect the slide rail assemblies. Check for excess
build up of dirt or other foreign material; remove any debris items that may be present.
•If the system squeaks or makes any noises, blow out any debris from the gear rack arms
and apply a dry lubricant to prevent and/or stop squeaking.
If you have any problems or questions, please see the contact
tab on our website at www.powergearus.com
WARNING
Please note:
•The slideout system will not function until the stops are properly set or faults are cleared.
•The GREEN LED (FIGURE 4) indicates the system operation.
A solid GREEN LED indicates room movement.
•The RED LED (FIGURE 4) indicates a fault or a problem with the system. Refer to the
FAULT DIAGNOSTICS/TROUBLESHOOTING (page 3) for additional information.
Prior to moving the slide out room:

Fault Diagnostics/Troubleshooting
This control has the ability to detect and display several faults. When a fault is detected, the
room movement will stop and two (2) different LED’s will flash in a pattern.
•The FAULT CODE LED (FIGURE 4, page 2) will flash RED a number of times
corresponding to a specific fault code. Refer to the FAULT CODES chart on to best
determine what caused the fault.
•The ROOM MOVEMENT LED (FIGURE 4, page 2) will flash GREEN a number of
times corresponding to which motor had the associated fault.
For example: if you are seeing four (4) REDflashes and two (2) GREEN
flashes, it means that there is a motor fault on motor 2.
There are two (2) types of faults, MINOR and MAJOR, and fault must be cleared in order for
the room to operate.
•MINOR faults can be cleared by pushing and releasing the IN or OUT buttons on
the wall touchpad (FIGURE 4, page 2).
•MAJOR faults must be cleared by pushing and releasing the SET STOPS/CLEAR
FAULTS button located the back of the wall touchpad (FIGURE 2, page 2).
Note: For major faults, the control must be overridden by following the EMERGENCY
RETRACT MODE in the OVERRIDE MODES (page 4). The control will then have to be re-
programmed by an O.E.M. authorized dealer when the problem is repaired.

Override Modes
In the event of component failure or loss of system power, your slideout can be manually
overridden and retracted for travel.
Note: At any time during the override procedure, the unit will exit this mode if the room has
not been moved for two (2) minutes or if a fault is detected during room movement. The
FAULT CODE and ROOM OR LOCK MOVEMENT LEDs will flash rapidly for 10 seconds to
indicate that the override procedure failed. After the 10 seconds of flashing, the control will
automatically default to FAULT CODE 1 (see FAULT CODES, FIGURE 5, page 3) and
programming must be restarted.
Note: The room control will need to be re-programmed by an O.E.M. 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.
1. Remove the touchpad (FIGURE 4, page 2) from the wall.
2. Prior to clearing the MAJOR fault, record the number of RED and GREEN
flashes (FIGURE 6) observed on the touchpad. This information will help your
dealer/service center in troubleshooting the slideout system.
3. Press and hold the SET STOPS/CLEAR FAULTS button (FIGURE 2, page 2)
on the back for the touchpad for five (5) seconds. Both RED and GREEN LEDs
will be on solid while this button is pressed. After five (5) seconds, the GREEN
LED will begin flashing and the RED LED will remain lit.
4. The unit is now ready to retract the room. Press and hold the ROOM
SLIDEOUT MOTOR buttons 1 and 2 on the back of the TOUCHPAD (FIGURE
3, page 2).
Caution: It is very important to note that during this procedure, the slideout
control has NO stop locations. Use another individual to assist in determining
when the room is retracted. Damage to the room can occur if the room is
retracted too far.
5. Press the IN button on the front of the wall touchpad until the room is fully
retracted. If one side of the of the room needs to retract further in order to get a
good seal, press and hold the motor button corresponding to only the motor you
want to move. Press the IN button on the front of the touchpad to retract the
room the remainder of the way.
6. Re-install the wall touchpad.
7. Take the unit to a O.E.M. certified dealer for repairs.

Override Modes (continued)
•Always make sure that the
slideout room path is clear
of people and objects
before and during
operation of the slideout
room.
•Always keep away from
the slide rails when the
room is being operated.
The gear assembly may

B. MANUAL EMERGENCY RETRACT MODE
Use this procedure when the above procedures do not work.
In the event that power is lost to the slide out motor(s) or OVERRIDE MODE A (page 4) will not
work, the room can be manually retracted by following these steps:
1. You will need to gain access from either the inside or outside (whichever is more
convenient) of the coach to the VERTICAL CHANNEL assembly by removing the OEM
trim and flange pieces on the slideout room box.
2. If applicable, remove the top screw from the bulb seal at the top of the VERTICAL
CHANNEL (FIGURE 8).
3. Pull down the bulb seal and remove the motor cover (FIGURE 9). The motor cover may
stick to the bulb seal.
4. Using a pick tool, remove the end of the retaining spring from the motor spring clip
(FIGURE 10A). If not equipped with a retaining spring, loosen the motor retaining screw
(FIGURE 10B).
5. Unplug the motor from the harness and remove the motor by lifting it up and out.
6. Repeat steps 1-4 for the other side.
7. Push the room into the retracted position.
8. Secure the room in place by either re-installing the motors (making sure the end of the
retaining spring is re-hooked to the motor spring clip (FIGURE 10A) or torque the motor
retaining screw to 40 in lbs. (FIGURE 10B) and the motor retainer is fully engaged) or using
a travel lock, 2 x 4 (cut to size), etc. SEE NOTE BELOW ON SEATING MOTOR.
9. Have the slide out room serviced by an O.E.M.authorized dealer as soon as possible. Do
not operate room until service is complete as damage to the room may result.
Note:It may be possible to manually retract the room by accessing the ½” square drive tube at
the bottom of each vertical channel assembly. This will only be possible if there is access to this
area.
1. You will first need to follow steps 1-6 as detailed above.
2. Using a ½” 8-point star socket (FIGURE 7) and alternating from one side to the other,
turn the ½” square drive tube to bring the room in. A 15 mm 12-point socket is an
option if the ½” 8-point star socket is not available. Use caution, as the 15 mm 12-point
socket does not fit as snug as the ½” 8-point socket.
3. When the room is retracted, secure the room per step 8 above.
4. Have the slide out room serviced by an O.E.M. authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Do not operate room until service is complete as damage to the room may result.
