EQUIPMENT
To Retract the Main Slide-out Room:
• Check for sufficient clearance inside the motorhome before
retracting the slide-out room.
• Clean the floor, if applicable, to ensure there is no dirt or grit that
could result in floor damage during operation.
• Move the driver's seat forward.
• Inspect the exterior to ensure there are no sags in the awning
material.
• Remove any debris from the top of the slide-out room.
• Prior to retracting the slide-out room, start the motorhome. Allow
the air bags to fully inflate to normal travel height.
• Retract the leveling jacks prior to operating the slide-out.
• Turn the ignition switch
OFF . The slide-out room will not operate
with the engine running.
• The house batteries should be fully charged.
• The park brake must be applied.
• Ensure all people, pets and objects are clear of slide-out room path.

IN position. The slide-out room
will move slowly in. To stop the slide-out room, release the
switch. To continue the room movement, push and hold the switch in.

motorhome. It will be necessary to retract the room in small
increments, allowing the water time to run off.

motorhome (driver's seat, etc.) before you retract the slide-out room.
Ensure the floor is clean before you retract the slide-out room.
Trapped dirt or grit under the slide-out room can scratch the floor
surface. Never move the motorhome with the slide-out room extended.

weight will cause the awning to sag. Upon retracting the room,
material can become caught in between the top of slide room and the
opening in the motorhome. It will be necessary to retract the room in
