When your RV's electric slideout won't move -- dead battery, blown fuse, or a motor that quit mid-trip -- this Lippert manual crank is the tool that gets your slide back in so you can hit the road. Designed specifically for Lippert electric slideout systems, the 18-inch crank and included hex nut let you manually operate the slideout mechanism directly at the motor or drive shaft, without shore power or a functioning 12V system.
Lippert's electric slideout systems are reliable, but every RV owner knows that electrical gremlins can show up at the worst possible time. The Lippert 123809 manual crank is a straightforward, no-nonsense solution: insert the crank over the drive nut on your slideout motor assembly and turn. The 18-inch handle gives you enough leverage to move even a heavy, fully loaded room slide without excessive effort.
This is a genuine Lippert replacement/accessory part -- the same tool referenced in Lippert slideout service documentation for manual override procedures. It is sold as a complete unit with the hex nut included, so you have everything needed to engage the drive immediately.
Provides solid mechanical leverage for manually cranking heavy slideout assemblies without straining, even on large room slides.
Comes with the mating hex nut needed to engage Lippert slideout motor drive shafts -- ready to use right out of the package.
OEM part number 123809 -- manufactured to Lippert specifications for proper fit and engagement with their slideout drive systems.
Keeps you from being stranded with a slide stuck out. Store it in your RV tool kit so it is always on hand when you need it most.
Most Lippert electric slideout systems use a motor-driven gear assembly with an exposed drive shaft or hex socket at the motor end. The manual crank engages this drive point directly. With the motor's manual override port accessible (typically behind an access panel on the slide mechanism), you fit the hex nut onto the drive shaft and use the crank handle to rotate it, extending or retracting the room slide mechanically.
The 18-inch handle length is intentional -- slideout rooms can weigh several hundred pounds, and adequate leverage makes manual cranking a one-person job in most cases. The process is slow compared to electric operation, but it is effective and does not damage the motor or gearbox when performed correctly.
Keep this crank stored in your RV at all times -- not in your tow vehicle or garage at home. Emergency slide failures happen in campgrounds, at rest stops, and on the side of the road. If the crank is not with the RV, it cannot help you.
This crank is designed for Lippert electric slideout systems that include a manual override drive point. Lippert produces several slideout system types -- electric motor driven rack-and-pinion and hydraulic-assist systems are the most common. This manual crank is intended for the electric motor-driven variants where a hex drive shaft is accessible at the motor assembly.
