FLUID FILLING PROCEDURE
The Lippert Hydraulic Slideout and HLG System uses automatic transmission
fluid (ATF). Any ATF can be used. A full synthetic or synthetic blend works best
such as Dexron II, Dexron III or Mercon 5. For best operation, fill system within
1” of the top when all slideouts and landing gear are completely retracted. The
see through reservoir makes it easy to check oil level. It is recommended that
the oil level be checked prior to operating the system. Make sure the breather
cap is free of contamination before removing, replacing or installing. In colder
temperatures (less than 10
° F) the cylinders and jacks may extend and retract
slowly due to the fluid’s molecular nature. For cold weather operation, fluid
specially formulated for low temperatures may be desirable.
Please consult factory before using any other fluids.

ATF.
