Stuck in the bush . Slide out will not come in on RH side
Hi. Away camping in North Queensland and our RH slide out will not budge ? Any one have any ideas
Forum Discussion
Mine is an electric driven slide, 22' long on the driver's side.
It's made by PowerGear, the least customer friendly company I've encountered.
I found the manual, and there's a "manual retraction adapter" that slide over the end of the motor shafts that allows you to attach a 1/2" ratchet to the shaft and crank the slide in that way.
There are 3 motors, and each has the brake lever (engage/disengage) on the back of the motor, so you have to disengage each motor, and then move motor to motor slowly cranking the slide in.
My rig did NOT come with the adapter, but I had a friend make on out of hardened steel stock, made three of them, so I can leave them pinned on.
Really stupid, stupid design. Why not just square the end of the shaft so a socket will fit on? THAT would make the system much more serviceable.
