Slide Outs

Front 1

What are the three types of manual slide outs

Back 1

Tip-out

Manual

Crank

Front 2

Which two types of slide outs use an electric motor

Back 2

Electric and hydraulic

Front 3

True or false, all motors used on slides are reversing motors.

Back 3

False, some hydraulics are not reversing motors.

Front 4

What three things can an electric slide out incorporate?

Back 4

Gear reduction, clutches, and brakes

Front 5

How many amps can a 12V electric slide out motor use?

Back 5

Up to 30A

Front 6

What is the purpose of a slide out brake?

Back 6

To prevent creeping

Front 7

Is the electric brake engaged with or without 12V power going to it?

Back 7

Without, 12V releases the brake

Front 8

At what ft/lbs is the brake tested at the override coupler?

Back 8

60ft/lbs, if it doesn't hold the motor assembly should be replaced.

Front 9

True or false, brake, motor, and gear assemblies should be replaced as a whole.

Back 9

True

Front 10

What is the difference between a 6 and 5 wire slide switch?

Back 10

The positive lead is jumped on the 5

Front 11

How many wires are on a switch incorporating a control module?

Back 11

3

Front 12

How many wires are on a switch incorporating a monoplex system?

Back 12

2

Front 13

Describe the operation of a monoplex system

Back 13

There is one momentary switch to operate. The first push starts the movement in one direction, the second stops the movement, the next would reverse the movement.

Front 14

What stops a monoplex system once the slide reaches full extension?

Back 14

The rise in amperage from the motor.

Front 15

What is the "window" on a monoplex system?

Back 15

The set amount of time that the system will ignore high amperage.

Front 16

What is the "time out" of a monoplex system?

Back 16

How long the system will allow the motor to run before turning off.

Front 17

What would happen if the control setting for amperage is set too low on a monoplex system?

Back 17

The slide may stop mid travel.

Front 18

What would happen if the control setting for amperage is set too high on a monoplex system?

Back 18

The slide flanges may be damaged.

Front 19

What should be checked prior to adjusting a monoplex system?

Back 19

Lubrication of the slide system and seals as poor lubrication may cause the motor to raise the amperage and shut off the system.

Front 20

What is the max rotation of the adjustment limiter on a monoplex system.

Back 20

270° (3/4 of a turn)

Front 21

What should be done before adjusting a monoplex board?

Back 21

Static electricity should be discharged.

Front 22

What type of screwdriver should be used to adjust a monoplex board?

Back 22

A non-metalic screwdriver.

Front 23

How far can cable slides extend?

Back 23

Up to 60"

Front 24

What supports the weight of a cable slide?

Back 24

Rollers or wear bars

Front 25

What type of manual override is equipped on a cable slide motor?

Back 25

Hex drive

Front 26

What could cause the cables to kink or fail

Back 26

If the cables are not properly aligned.

Front 27

What can cause water to wick on a cable slide system?

Back 27

Water running in on the cables themselves.

Front 28

How much deflection should there be on the cables of a cable slide?

Back 28

1/2"

Front 29

What can broken roll pins cause on a slide?

Back 29

Walking or racking

Front 30

Which slides are more prone to contamination?

Back 30

Through frame slides

Front 31

Which style of slide is required for a flush floor install?

Back 31

Through frame

Front 32

What is the minimum DC voltage required for proper operation of an in-wall slide?

Back 32

11Vdc

Front 33

What is the accepted voltage range for operation of an in-wall slide?

Back 33

8-18Vdc

Front 34

What steps should be taken prior to attempting to adjust a slide?

Back 34

Ensure that the trailer is level, that there's enough room to fully extend and retract the slide, travel locks are removed and there are no obstructions, operate slide several times to ensure smoothness of operation, and mark original adjustment locations prior to changing them.

Front 35

How should you diagnose a slide that does not move smoothly?

Back 35

Lubricate the seals and drive assembly, test battery voltage, test control switch voltage, and test motor voltage.

Front 36

True or false, you should always support a slide before attempting any adjustments.

Back 36

True

Front 37

If the slide is binding at the front which direction should you move the pushtubes?

Back 37

Forwards

Front 38

If the slide is binding at the rear, which way should you move the pushtubes?

Back 38

Towards the rear

Front 39

If the slide is sealing at the bottom but not at the top which way should you move the pushtubes?

Back 39

Towards the top
