Rear Slide Adjustment

<< < (2/2)

Edward Buker:
Thank you Gerald. I will take a look under the bed when I am done fixing some Aqua Hot leak issues and servicing the burner. So far I have a love hate relationship with the Aqua Hot. Love it when it is working right, hate it when it has a problem....

Edward Buker:
Gerald,

Decided to attempt the rear slide adjustment today. I loosened the rear two bolts in the slots(see attachment) and worked with about a two foot pry bar on a block placed under the frame. We would be lucky if we gained 1/8 inch on the side of the slide that we were trying to raise. We did not loosen the two slotted bolts at the inward end of the frame on the same side thinking that would be a tilt adjustment. We were not getting a whole lot of movement with the bar. We were doing the adjustment in the out position given the limited access. I suspect this unit is quite heavy. Do we need a bigger bar or a jack under the frame? How much effort was required to get the slide to lift? I would rather use some caution on my part rather than more force if I am missing something. Does this look like the same mechanism as yours?

Hope you see this tonight, a friend is coming over in the morning to give me a hand.

Gerald Farris:
Your slide looks like mine from what I can tell from the picture. When I aligned my slide, I used two pry bars (one to hold position if you need another bite with the other one) that were about 3 1/2 feet long each.

I did not use a block of wood to pry against, but I was able to use the top of the stand as a pivot point to lift the slide frame.

Edward Buker:
I take it you loosened just the outer two bolts that are in the photo and with a lot of pressure on the bar raised the slide? I will break out the longer bar if that is what it takes... We can pry up and put a wedge on the block to hold position.
