2. Remove (4) screws holding the panel to the top of the
compartment. Remove the cover.
3. Unplug the motor leads at the connector. Gray connec-
tor with red and black wires.
4. To release the motor brake you must depress the spring
lock lever, which then allows you to pivot the brake le-
ver, which in turn releases the brake. These parts are
located inside the rubber boot wire tied over the mo-
tor. You must manipulate these parts
without
removing
the rubber boot.
As noted on the side-by-side photo,
removing this boot will void your motor warranty.
These photos will help you figure out how this works.
The side-by-side photo (below) shows the spring lock le-
ver and the brake lever.
5. The spring lock lever is a thin metal arm with a slight
bend at the end, which will hold the brake lever in the
released position.
6. The brake lever is the heavier thicker metal arm with the
hole in the end.
7. The normal position for these two levers is to be paral-
lel to each other as shown in the first side-by-side photo.
The motor brake is engaged with levers side by side.
8. The brake lever is moveable; the spring lock lever is not
moveable. To release the brake lever, you must push the
bent end of the spring lock lever away from the brake
lever; this will allow you to pivot the brake lever so it
moves over on top of the spring lock lever. The bent end
will hold the brake lever in the released position. (photo
shows this “bend”).
9. Once the brake motor is released, you
will need to remove the skirting on the
side of the slideout floor where the hex
override is located.
10. Use a ratchet with a 3/4” socket (or
wrench) to turn the hex override and
manually move the slideout.
11. When the slideout is retracted, check to
make sure you have a good seal, and re-
place the skirting on the slideout.
12. Return the brake release lever back to
the “engaged” position (parallel to the
spring lock lever). Pressing the bent end
of the spring lock lever will allow the
brake lever to be moved.
13. Plug the motor connector back in again.
14. Replace the plastic motor cover with the (4) screws removed previously.
15. Take the unit to an authorized dealer for service.
For further information, refer to the manufacturer’s
owner’s manual.
