SECTION 10 –
SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING
10-6
• Disengage the motor brakes, which appear as
a flat ‘square’ protrusion on the protective
boot at the end of each motor. Move the brake
lever slightly–about 1/8 turn–counter-
clockwise (to left when facing end of motor).
• Use a 3/4” socket and ratchet wrench on the
motor gearbox shaft to crank the room in or
out as needed. Crank both sides of the room
alternately and equally to avoid wedging the
room.
If help is available, a second person–with a
duplicate socket and ratchet–cranking the
other end simultaneously will greatly speed
up the process.
• Crank the room until it is just ‘snugged up’.
Do not overcrank or you could damage the
gear assembly.
• While maintaining pressure on ratchet
wrenches, re-engage the motor brake by
moving lever clockwise slightly (to right
when facing end of motor).
• Reconnect motor power lead to wiring
harness.
• Fasten slideout room travel latching device–if
equipped–inside the coach before driving the
vehicle.
• See your dealer for service of the slideout
mechanism before using again.
Further Information
See the Slideout Room operating guide
included in your InfoCase for further instructions
and troubleshooting information.
GENERAL SLIDEOUT CARE

brand protectant for smooth quiet operation.
• Clean the floors inside before retracting the

mechanism.
