Maybe that has since changed but my comments are based on a discussion I had one LCI Tech and three LCI documents he sent me two years ago when I was having issues.

Here is the section on System Maintenance from the Owbers manual and even though it says "gear tracks", the Service / Rebuild Manual and Troubleshooting Manual do not mention lubricating the gib, bearing block or V-rollers as part of installation procedure, regular maintenance or troubleshooting.
I am no Judge, but this looks like Kase Klosed to me

FWIW: Powers Gear by Lippert manual says the system has been designed to require very little maintenance, but it does say to apply a dry lubricant to prevent or stop squeaking.

My SOB manual nor wall sticker calls this out, but I can't imagine anyone wanting to extend slide and coach not level I do have warning stickers all over the wall and the manual warning to ALWAYS make sure the path is clear of people and objects BEFORE and DURING operation.




It would be nice if someone with exact same coach could tell how long it takes for theirs to extend? If mine was taking 90 secs, it would be in a shop with or without warranty, and if the latter is true on my new coach, I would follow the Judge's order and get it done and over with without going a year or so with headaches.

I am gonna document the 17 secs extend time so in the event it starts to take longer; I will have a benchmark.
