elkhartjim Report post Posted September 2, 2018 Is this hydraulic or the electric? Did you check fluid level? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhartjim Report post Posted September 2, 2018 Is there a limiter (limit switch)? Do you have someone (s) that can push while holding the switch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted September 2, 2018 No switch, Lipper Power Gear System, hydraulic...no leaks. Got me by the short hairs! Motor runs, bar turns...rear one is working fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuse, voltage is good, motor runs and just stops at same point each time. Carl, 3 hydraulic slides work - right? The 4 th. is not and that one is electric ? Correct ! Electric motor on that slide works and the slide drive shaft is turning even when the slide stops retracting- correct ! Rich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted September 2, 2018 Rich. I have 2 electric hydraulic slides...the rear works, front don't, when it stops, the motor is still on, but slide will not lift up and then go in! The other 2 slides are electric only and work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, So the slide will go back out to its normal extended point. then retract only 8 in. and stop, but the hydraulic motor is still running. Does the motor sound change when it stops / like the pressure load is changing? Something restricting the slide at the point it starts to lift enough to complete the full retraction. The hydraulic pressure is set at the same point for both hydraulic slides. Sure sounds like something is blocking the slide - something blocking it or the lift ramp that it slides up on is out of place. Any difference in the height of the slide floor from front to rear?

manholt Report post Posted September 2, 2018 You got it...looks the same as it always has, not canted or high/low. Normally, I would say low voltage, but meeter say 12.7...no loss of fluid. It's like, it has not got the power to get over lip! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted September 2, 2018 Just now, tried again and it's 3" in out. Got full capacity on all 10 batteries! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carl, My thought is that the pin that keeps the planetary gears aliened in the drive gearbox has worn a out of round(oval) hole in the gear casting. When that happens the gears do not generate the needed torque. If you can get some help pushing in on the slide so it can slide in and then if you can get a new motor or have a Good machine shop put a sleeve in the casting and secure it reassemble and install. Rich. The casting material is not the best - the pin starts to wobble . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wayne77590 Report post Posted September 3, 2018 Sorry, haven't been on all day. You say hydraulic so I'm assuming you have the black rectangular control panel with a touch pad configuration, one in button to push and one out button to push. If so, is there a little pin hole at the top of the rectangle? If so, use a toothpick and push it into that hole and hold it there until the light flashes, then use the in and out buttons alternately and see if the slide will cinch up. This is the typical over-ride for bringing the slide in. However, it has to be used carefully and never have one side come in more than 2 or so inches than the other. The other option for that type of controller if there is not pin-hole is to remove it and see if there is a button on the back (reset) and push it then alternately use the in/out button to bring the slide in. This all assumes you have the controllers I'm thinking of. 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dickandlois Report post Posted September 3, 2018 Bill and Wayne ! Carl has 12.7 volts on his 10, 12 volt batteries and all the other slides work. 2 electric and one hydraulic. The one the does not retract is a hydraulic drive and only moves in or out about 3 in. . The hydraulic pump motor keeps running and the slide does not make it up over the ramp so the slide can continue to the full closed position. No fluid leaks or other obvious item blocking the slide. I did ask if there was something blocking the slide. The only items that I can think of is the possibility of the ramp blocks out of position or a planetary gear reduction drive with a center pin for the gear setup that is no longer keeping the gears lined up properly. have seen this issue in in a campground, that sounds like what Carl is experiencing. Rich. HWH Hydraulic pump is set at 3000 PSI - that much pressure should move the slide - something binding or out of adjustment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted September 3, 2018 Rich. I wish it was HWH system!!!! It's Power Gear by Lipper Ind. Same as my Jack/Air leveling system. Interior of coach is level, will see if I can round up some muscle this morning. Got to get this fixed by the 13th! Otherwise, it will be Linda's DP going to Shawnee, OK. WBill. Linda did. We both crawled into 2 bays to look for obstructions and motor. There is a black wire that's connected in casing of motor and has a 3 female connector on it...have no idea what's it's for! Wayne. No...just a rocker switch for in/out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted September 3, 2018 Wayne. Your right, there hast to be a controller, probably in the battery compartment or OMC compartment next door! Daylight I will look, at least that slide works! Jim S. You can expect a call..I figure you can be bribed 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This information might prove helpful for getting the Power Gear Hydraulic Slide back into place and then securing the hydraulic system. Need to open a valve to allow the fluid to return to the supply tank- or all the kings men could not get the slide back into the coach ! Rich.

manholt Report post Posted September 3, 2018 Rich. After more inspection and spending 3 hours on internet..Sorry for miss information! None are hydraulic! All four are motor driven elect.

Think What I mentioned in my post about the Drive motor gearing is back into the picture. Can you get a number(s) off the motor, I think that I have a file that covers many of of the Electric and mechanical items that have been supper seeded with new numbers. Also, you will need to remove the remove the drive shaft shear pin(s). Then there should be a 3/4 in. nut on one point on the shaft - that can be turned with a socket wrench to retract the slide manually ! If there is enough room you might be able to use a drill motor and adapter to spin the common drive shaft. I think I have some info in the PDF Format, Hope it is not missing after the the computer cash. That could get interesting or frustrating depending on ones state of mind. Rich. See my next post. Think this will cover your slide out manual operation requirements. Not all is lost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted September 3, 2018 I'm reading it. 1. We have not found a controller yet. 2. My switch has no key or on/off position, just in/out. 3. My slide outs work on AIR level, current or Jacks. 4. There is no brake release lever on or near motor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
