Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Power Gear Slideout System User Manual
Power Gear Slideout System
Manual Override – The slideout system is equipped with a manual override that allows you to extend or retract the room in the event of a loss of power.
Caution
- Always disconnect the battery from the system prior to manually operating the system. Failure to disconnect the battery can cause electricity to back feed through the motor and cause serious damage to the system as well as void the warranty.
- Use EXTREME CAUTION when extending/retracting the room using the manual override feature. The gears can be stripped out if the room is manually retracted/extended to its fullest extent and the operator continues to rotate manually override. Damage can also occur to the slide components, slide room structure or trim components. Damages due to misuse of the manual override feature will void any and all claims to the Limited Warranty.
If the room does not move when the switch is pressed, check the following:
- Make sure the slideout system is turned on.
- The battery is fully charged and connected.
- Transit bars have been removed (if so equipped).
Warning
When the motor brake is disengaged the slideout room WILL NOT lock into place and will not be sealed. When the room has been manually retracted, be sure to install 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.
If the room still does not move when the switch is pressed, follow the steps below to manually override the slideout room:
- Turn the Main Power OFF. The override will not work if it has power going to it. Do not work on the system unless the battery is disconnected.
- Locate the slideout controller. There are two versions of the controller.
- Version 1, unplug the 6 pin wiring harness from the controller.
- Version 2, remove one of the motor leads, either the motor I or motor II lead from the controller.
- Locate the slideout motor (Fig. 1) mounted to one of the slideout rails. Some models may require removal of the underbelly or cover to access the motor. In a bedroom slideout, it may be located under the bed.
- Rotate the brake lever, on the backside of the motor, counter-clockwise (looking from the rear of the motor) about 1/8 of a turn to the released position (Fig. 2). This will release the brake that holds the room in the place.
- Locate the manual override for the slideout system (Fig. 1).
- The room is now free to move. Using either a 5/8” or 3/4” wrench or socket, crank the room either in or out completely. If the slideout system is supplied with a gearbox override (optional), use the crank handle to move the room.
- When the rooms is fully in or out have one person apply pressure to the wrench/ratchet and return the brake lever to its engaged position. This ensures the room is locked into a seated position.
- Install the transit bars (if so equipped) to the slideout room and take the unit to an authorized dealer for service.
