Just follow the instructions: set the parking brake, level the coach and deploy the slides (engine running, generator running or shore power), as you need a full 14 volts for the motors to operate properly. It seems most of the problems are caused by the slide box not being perfectly square or motor failure. Helps if you lubricate the gear reduction system and the coupler monthly

Could you tell me how to lubricate the gear reduction system and coupler?
I like to keep my toys well maintained. Appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Kev
