Adjusting hydraulic slideout

I have the manuals for the Lippert through the frame hydraulic slideout so I can reference how to adjust a particular component, but I’d like your advice on which component to adjust. On the kitchen and “opposite” slideouts, when they are extended, the top is tight against the inner wall, but is out about 1” on both bottom sides of the opposite slide out and about 3/4” on the bottom left on the kitchen.

Since the inner seals are white, you see light coming in at the bottom of the slideout where the slideout is not coming flush to the inner wall.

When you operate the slides, does the hydraulic pump start to “labor”? Before the bottom of the slide makes contact?

The hydraulic ram should be threaded at the end and you can adjust the nuts for more/less travel. Make sure there is a gap on the outboard side of the bracket between the bracket and the nut. Doesn’t need to be very wide.

Yes, i hold the extend button down so that I it does labor for a second or two. I’ll try that adjustment. Thank you.
