After the previous items have been checked and the room still does not
move when the slide-out switch is pressed, follow these simple steps to manually
override the slide-out room:
Manual Override for Bedroom Slide-out:
1. Lift up the mattress to gain access to the slide-out cover board and
mechanism.
2. Disconnect the battery power from the slide-out motor.
3. The slide-out motor has a shaft with two bolts. Use an appropriate
wrench (a 7/16" wrench/ratchet or an adjustable wrench) to
remove the bolts. The bolts will need to be stored in a safe place
to be installed after repairs have been completed.
4. The slide-out then can be pushed back in by a single person. Once
the slide room has been manually retracted, install the locking bars
to prevent the room from creeping.
5. Take the motorhome to an authorized dealer for service.
The slide-out system has been designed to require very little maintenance.
To ensure the long life of the slide-out system read and follow these simple
procedures:
• The roof of the slide-out should be checked for debris such as pine
needles, dirt, leaves, sticks, etc. If the slide-out has been out for a
period of time, any debris left on the top may cause damage to the
seals when being retracted. If debris is present wash with soap and
water, then rinse.
• Visually inspect the wipe seal when the room is out. The seal should
be clean and free of dirt or other foreign material. Keep the seal
dry. Inspect seal for tears and rips.
• In the event the slide room leaks, fully retract it. Tape the exterior
opening closed with duct tape until repairs to the motorhome can
be completed.
