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.

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. The main slideout
switch (if so equipped) is
located in the command
center. The bedroom
slideout switch (if so
equipped) is located on an
bedroom interior wall.
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.
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.

Do not place excessive weight in the
slideout room. It can cause the slideout
room to malfunction and cause damage to
the slideout.
Additional support jacks are not needed
under the slideout. Damage can occur to
your slideout room from improper use of
aftermarket support jacks.
