Overriding the Electric Slideout System
The Power Gear slideout system is equipped with a manual crank override that allows
you to extend or retract the room if there is a loss of power.
If the system will not move when the switch is pressed, check the following:
• Is the battery connected and does it have a full charge?
• Are the travel bars removed (on the Eagle and Qwest models)?
After checking the above, follow these steps to move the slideout manually.
Tools required:
• ScruLox head screwdriver (if trailer has an underbelly)
• Crank Handle (included with unit)
• 1/2" wrench
• Adjustable Wrench (for bedroom slideout only)
SLIDEOUT OVERRIDE
Instructions for all slideouts except Fifth-Wheel
Bedroom slideout.
1. If the travel trailer has an underbelly, locate
and remove the access panel for the slideout
motor. Refer to the drawing to locate the
motor on your particular slideout. (Fig. 3-9)
2. From the rear of the motor, rotate the brake
release lever on the back side of the motor
counter-clockwise 1/8 turn. (Fig. 3-8) This
will release the brake that locks the slideout in place.
3. The slideout is now free to move. Install the crank handle onto the crank shaft and
turn it until the room is in the position you desire. The opening to insert the crank
handle onto the crank shaft is located on the opposite side of the travel trailer from
the slideout.
4. When the slideout is fully extended (or retracted) have one person put pressure on
the crank handle to ensure a tight seal while another person returns the brake release
lever on the back of the motor to its normal downward position. This will ensure
that the slideout is locked into a sealed position.
5. Install the travel bars (on Eagle and Qwest models) and take the unit to a Jayco
dealer for service.
WARNING:
When the slideout motor brake is released the slideout will not
lock into place, and therefore it will not be sealed from the outdoors! When the
slideout has been retracted, return the brake release lever to its downward
position in order to seal and lock the slideout. Install the travel bars on the
Eagle and Qwest models.
BEDROOM SLIDEOUT OVERRIDE
Fifth-Wheel Travel Trailer Option
1. Lift up the mattress and baseboard to gain access to the slideout unit.
2. From the rear of the motor, rotate the brake release lever on the back side of the
motor counter-clockwise 1/8 turn. (Fig. 3-8) This will release the brake that locks
the slideout in place.
