When rain has accumulated, the FIRST thing you do after the rain has stopped is to bring the rooms in 1/2 the way. That will allow the water to flow off the outside.
This is a big no no with Schwinteck slides, it can mess up the timing. We use the pool noodles.
BIG fairy tale. I probably put Scwintek slides partially in and out 3 or 4 times a week. As long as you HOLD the button down for 10 seconds after fully extending or retracting, that will retime Schwintek slides. OEM's and Schwintek state this because they realize their system can be put out of time by partially extending or retracting when there is a slight problem with the system. But, as I stated, do the hold button EVERYTIME you operate a Schwintek and you will have no problems. Doug
Then Lippert told me a your big fairy tale. Bringing them in part way from full extension and then back out again will retime them as per LIPPERT, which could take a few times to retime them. Starting and stopping and partial out then partial in LIPPERT Told me was a big no no and would get them out of timing. How else would they get out of timing?
I've had my entire passenger side schwintek system replaced and sent back to Lippert as they couldn't figure out the problem with them.
As per Lippert to prevent the system from getting out of timing is out and full in until the system times out.
