Review the steps for properoperation and try moving the room again. If thebreaker continues to trip, contact your Lance Dealer.MANUAL OVERRIDE OPERATIONThe slide-out room system can be overridden toextend or retract the room in case there is an electricalpower interruption or failure, or other systemmalfunction. During manual operation of the slideout,the confined working quarters can cause pinch andcrush hazards. Ensure that the slide out path is clearof obstructions in the interior of the camper.If the slide-out room will not move when the switch isengaged, check the following:The battery is connected and fully charged.The power fuse located on the electric jack control unitin the cabover step is not blown.There are no other obstructions in the room’s path.The camper is level and not in a rack or twistedposition.The override switch is in the “On-Locked” position.Located generally near the entry door is a manualover-ride switch. Turning this switch to the Off/Unlocked position will let the electric slide motor turneasier. This will allow you to crank the room in or out.After the room has been extended or retracted, turnthe switch back to On/Locked position.CAUTIONFailure to re-engage the manual overrideswitch could cause the slideout to moveduring use or in transit.When fully retracted contact your Lance dealer forservice, if required. When the motor is disengaged,the slideout room WILL NOT lock in place. It will notbe sealed from either the interior or exterior. When theroom has been fully retracted, be sure to re-engagethe motor to seal and lock the room.ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MAINTENANCEDisconnect all power sources before performing anyservice work on the system. This includes the 120-volt AC power to the converter, the battery and theconnection between the trailer and the tow vehicle.The slide-out room system requires a minimumbattery voltage of 12-volts. Be sure the battery is fullycharged for best performance.Maintain the battery as outlined in the Battery Sec-tion under Electrical Systems. Check the terminalsand other connections at the battery, fuse panel andthe control switch. Be sure the connections are tight,clean, undamaged and corrosion-free.MECHANICAL MAINTENANCEThe slide-out room mechanism is designed to bevirtually maintenance free. During long-term storage,apply a seal dressing such as 303© Protectant to theslide-out room seals. 303© Protectant is availableat most RV or auto parts supply stores. This dress-ing will also lubricate the seals and make it easier toextend and retract the slide room.SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTINGThe camper body, the slide-out room and the slide-out room mechanism make up a slide-out room sys-tem. Each needs to function properly with the others.Every unit has its own characteristics. Symptoms ofmalfunction may appear to be the same, but trouble-shooting and fixing a problem must include a thor-ough check of all the interrelated components. Whensomething restricts room travel, the drive mechanismis designed to stop. If the room is restricted, thesystem may put undue pressure on the camper body,slide-out room or mechanism. The room may not sealproperly and the obstruction may cause fatigue andpremature system failure.Before troubleshooting the system or contacting anauthorized Lance Service Center, make sure the bat-tery is fully charged and there are no obstructions toroom movement.ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTINGThere are no field serviceable parts in the motor orcontrol system, therefore electrical troubleshoot-ing and service by the owner is limited to thoroughchecking of wiring and connections, checking thefuse at the fuse box and proper battery maintenance.Contact your Lance Dealer for any other servicerequirements.
