Genset slide-out operation

[BT-III]

Until today the hydraulic Genset slide–out on my motorhome would slide-out and slide-back in very smoothly. Today the in and out operations were accompanied by intense vibrations. Lots of shakings.

Does anyone know what kind of problem is this hiding?

Don't know for sure but sounds like lack of lubrication on the slide shafts or air in the hydraulics

Check for gravel or foreign objects in the channels the rollers roll in. maybe you will have a simple fix.

The Gen-Set Lock Valve Assembly is most likely your problem. I have had mine cleaned out and re-installed with new hydraulic fluid. No more problems.

My symptoms were not exactly the same. Sometimes the slide would work correctly and other times the pump would come on but the slide would not open.

There was debris getting caught in the Lock Valve when being operated.

Also check to make sure the reservoir is full of fluid when the side is closed not opened.
