The BAL EXACT-Slide G5.5 uses a motor-driven jamb at each side of the slide opening. Its interior and exterior cables, chain connectors and motor mounts are identified separately in BAL's original exploded service drawing. Use this guide to locate the correct part and to identify when the complete left- or right-hand jamb must be replaced.

The manufacturer identifies the top and bottom cables, chain connectors, motor mounting screw and complete jamb assemblies. The left- and right-hand illustrations are mirrored; left and right are determined while standing inside the RV facing the slide room.

To identify the full jamb assembly, BAL directs owners or service technicians to locate the white mechanism sticker inside the jamb, behind the removable jamb clamp. Its number identifies a system built for the RV's slide opening, room height, width and travel. A jamb from a visually similar RV should not be assumed to fit.
For motor sprocket differences and the updated controller, see the EXACT-Slide G5.5 motor and controller guide. For the different ACCU-Slide cable system, use the ACCU-Slide parts diagram index.
