SLIDE-OUT ROOM SYSTEM
The slide-out room uses a rack and pinion mecha-
nism to move the room. The pinion gears are driven
by a 12-volt DC electric motor by the trailer battery(s).
A switch mounted on the wall controls the room
movement.
SYSTEM OPERATION
During extension or retraction of the slide-out you
may hear some noises that are associated with the
electrical motor, mechanical system or the room slid-
ing by the seals. These sounds are normal. Some of
the slide-out components need a “break-in” period so
they can seat properly. After a dozen or so room cy-
cles, these break-in noises should decrease. Please
note that some noises associated with the electrical
and mechanical systems will always be noticeable
during slide-out operation. If very loud noises occur,
contact your Lance Trailer Dealer. When the slide-
out room is extended outside of the trailer, elements
such as rain, snow, dirt or other debris may cling to
the outside surfaces of the room and could affect the
function of the slide-out room.
When the room is retracted, material clinging to the
exterior surfaces may be brought into the trailer.
Always check the exterior surfaces of the slide-out
room before retracting it. Remove excess water,
snow, dirt, or other debris. Ensure that the outside
surfaces are as clean and dry as possible.
The seals around the outside of the slide-out are not
designed to act as a squeegee. Do not depend on
them to remove water.
NORMAL OPERATION
Read and understand this section of the Owner’s
Manual to avoid injury and/or property damage. Keep
people and objects clear of the slide-out room during
operation.
The trailer must be level before operating the slide-
out room.
Remove any obstructions that may restrict the slide-
out room movement.
Before extending or retracting the slideout room,
open a vent, window or door. The operation of the
slide-out room can create enough vacuum or pres-
sure to damage windows or doors.
CAUTION
DO NOT MOVE THE TRAILER WITH THE
ROOM EXTENDED.
To operate the slide-out room, push the switch to IN
or OUT depending on the position of the room. When
the room is fully extended or retracted, it will shut off
automatically. There are micro switches located on
the slideout arm that will shut off the motor when the
switch makes contact.
MANUAL OVERRIDE OPERATION
The slide-out room system can be overridden to
extend or retract the room in case there is an elec-
trical power interruption or failure, or other system
malfunction. During manual operation of the slideout,
the confined working quarters can cause pinch and
crush hazards. Ensure that the slide out path is clear
of obstructions in the interior of the trailer.
If the slide-out room will not move when the switch is
engaged, check the following:
The battery is connected and fully charged.
The power fuse located adjacent to the power
distribution center is not blown.
There are no other obstructions in the room’s
path.
The trailer is level and not in a rack or twisted
position.
Confirm that the slide-out switch is centered
in the OFF position.
