SECTION 10
SLIDEOUT SYSTEM
67
The slideout room system is designed for
additional floor space and comfort. The
mechanical components are gear driven.
Electric powered slideout room systems have
a manual override to allow you to extend or
retract the slideout room(s) in case of a power
loss. Make sure you have sufficient power
available before operating your slideout
system.

1. The auxiliary battery (customer supplied)
must be fully charged and connected. If
possible, the RV should be hooked up to
120-volt AC power so the converter
operates.
2. The RV must be level and the stabilizer
jacks in the extended position.
3. Locate the slideout control switch.
4. To move the room out, press the OUT
section of the switch and hold it until the
motor stops (travel time is approx. 25
seconds). Operating the switch after the
room is fully extended will damage the
switch and motor.
After the slideout is extended, verify that the
corners of the black rubber seal are set up
correctly. The corners of this seal are cut at a
45° angle. The top of the seal must overlap
the side of the seal to avoid the possibility of
water penetration.
Retracting slideout room
Press the IN section of the slideout control
switch and hold it until the motor stops.
Operating the switch after the room is fully
retracted will damage the switch and motor.
Maintenance
Your slideout system has been designed to
require very little maintenance. To ensure a
long life of your slideout system, read,
understand and follow these simple
instructions. This system contains a pre-lubed
bearing that is lubricated when the room is
moved in and out. Do not spray oil or grease
on the rails while the room is extended.

If the slideout does not move when the
slideout switch is depressed, follow these
steps.
Do not place excessive weight in the
slideout room. It can cause the slideout
room to malfunction and cause damage to
the slideout.
Ensure that the trailer is level before
operating the slideout room. Water leaks
and other problems could result if the
slideout is operated without leveling the
trailer.
Ensure there are no people or obstructions
blocking the path of the room when it is
moving. Keep away from the slide rails
when the room is in motion. The gear
assembly may pinch or catch on loose
clothing causing personal injury.
Ensure the slideout is in the closed
position prior to hooking the unit to the tow
vehicle.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Additional support jacks are not needed
under the slideout. Damage can occur to
your slideout room from improper use of
aftermarket support jacks.
Do not work on your system unless the 12-
volt DC (auxiliary battery, customer
supplied) and 120-volt AC electrical
systems (shore line power cord) have
been disconnected.
