Located under the slideout floor next to the motor is
the control module. Unplug the connector from the
module that goes to the motor. This will let the electric
slide motor turn easier. This will allow you to crank
the room in or out. After the room has been extended
or retracted, re-plug the connector into the module.
Insert a ½” socket with a ratchet into the hex shaft
at either end and extend or retract the room. Some
models may have access to the slideout from a
luggage compartment or adjacent interior cabinet.

CAUTION

Failure to re-engage the power wires to the
controller could cause slideout room to move
during use or in transit.

When fully retracted contact you Lance dealer for
service, if required. When the motor is disengaged,
the slideout room

WILL NOT

lock in place. It will not

be sealed from either the interior or exterior. When the
room has been fully retracted, be sure to re-engage
the motor to seal and lock the room.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

Disconnect all power sources before performing any
service work on the system. This includes the 120-
volt AC power to the converter, the battery and the
connection between the trailer and the tow vehicle.

The slide-out room system requires a minimum
battery voltage of 12-volts. Be sure the battery is fully
charged for best performance.

Maintain the battery as outlined in the Battery Sec-
tion under Electrical Systems. Check the terminals
and other connections at the battery, fuse panel and
the control switch. Be sure the connections are tight,
clean, undamaged and corrosion-free.

MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE

The slide-out room mechanism is designed to be
virtually maintenance free. During long-term storage,
apply a seal dressing such as 303© Protectant to the
slide-out room seals. 303© Protectant is available
at most RV or auto parts supply stores. This dress-
ing will also lubricate the seals and make it easier to
extend and retract the slide room.

SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING

The trailer body, the slide-out room and the slide-out
room mechanism make up a slide-out room system.
Each needs to function properly with the others.
Every unit has its own characteristics. Symptoms of
malfunction may appear to be the same, but trouble-
shooting and fixing a problem must include a thor-
ough check of all the interrelated components. When
something restricts room travel, the drive mechanism
is designed to stop. If the room is restricted, the
system may put undue pressure on the trailer body,
slide-out room or mechanism. The room may not seal
properly and the obstruction may cause fatigue and
premature system failure.

Before troubleshooting the system or contacting an
authorized Lance Trailer Service Center, make sure
the battery is fully charged and there are no obstruc-
tions to room movement.

ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING

There are no field serviceable parts in the motor or
control system, therefore electrical troubleshoot-
ing and service by the owner is limited to thorough
checking of wiring and connections, checking the
fuse at the fuse box and proper battery maintenance.
Contact your Lance Trailer dealer for any other ser-
vice requirements.
