brady seal install

[davidbrady]

Mine developed an air leak that I could hear when deflating the seal. While the air compressor ran and the vacuum pump did its thing, I could hear a whistling sound coming from the upper corner behind the captain's chair. Interestingly, my seal didn't leak when inflated. When inflated the puncture sealed itself against the side of the slide. That's right Al, eventually mine stopped fully deflating leaving the seal to rub against the side of the slide body; however, I never noticed the slide rocking. One thing to remember about our vintage of HWH slides is that you need to leave your finger on the retract/extend button long enough for the hydraulic pump to stop. This allows the sync-cylinder to recenter itself. Plus, whenever I retract the slide I always first extend it again (even though it's already extended) - the slide doesn't move but the pump runs and stops re-centering the sync-cylinder in the process.
