SECTION 2
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
Step 3 - Crank Room Inward
•
Begin cranking until all straps become taut,
then crank slowly (a few “clicks” at a time,
then wait a few seconds) so that both sides
pull in evenly.
Allow about 10 minutes to
crank room in fully.
(Attempting to crank
the room in too quickly will raise fluid pres-
sure in the hydraulic lines and make crank-
ing more difficult.)
NOTE: If one side should get ahead of the other,
the room will bind and the straps will
become extremely tight. If this happens
you must relieve pressure on the straps
and push the leading side outward. Slide
the winch strap hook slightly toward the
trailing side, then resume cranking
slowly.
•
When room is fully retracted, leave crank
assembly connected to hold room in while
driving coach to a servicing dealership.
NOTE: When you are done cranking the room in,
you may notice on the outside that either
the top or bottom of the room may still be
gapping out from the sidewall a few inch-
es. Unhook the strap for the side that is
touching the sidewall, then continue
cranking until the gapped side is snug.
Reattach the other strap and snug up the
crank to hold the room in.
Step 4 - Prep For Travel
•
Before driving off, close T-handle bypass
valve on hydraulic pump, pull bypass tube
out of hydraulic fluid reservoir and replace
cap to avoid contamination by road dust or
debris while driving. You may notice that
some hydraulic fluid has overflowed onto
the ground while cranking. This is normal if
the reservoir was full.
See your dealer
for service of the slideout
system before using again.
NOTE: When the system has been corrected,
check fluid level and refill as necessary.
Press the Retract switch for 15 to 20
seconds before attempting to extend the
room. Then run the room out and in
several times to purge any air from the
hydraulic system. Finally, recheck fluid
level and fill as necessary.
Further Information
See the HWH Room Extension operating
guide included in your Owner InfoCase for fur-
ther instructions and troubleshooting informa-
tion.
WARNING
Do not attempt to continue cranking
the room inward if binding occurs.
Excessive tension could cause a strap
to break or pull free, which could
result in personal injury. Damage to
the winch equipment, cabinets or
coach sidewall could also occur..
