SECTION 9
SLIDEOUT SYSTEMS
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.

Some RVs have transit bars that need to be
installed when the slideout room is in the
travel mode. Remove the transit bars before
operating the main slideout room. Be sure to
install the transit bars where indicated by
label on the interior RV wall before traveling.
The following label should remain affixed
permanently to the RV:

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
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 place excessive weight in the
slideout room. It can cause the slideout
room to malfunction and cause damage to
the slideout.
IMPORTANT! Never store the slideout
without the travel bars installed. This helps
seal the slideout in the closed position.
