EQUIPMENT
To Retract the Bedroom Slide-out:
• 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 slide-out retraction.
• 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 system or prepare the air leveling system for
travel 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 are fully charged.
• The battery cut-off switch must be in the
ON position.
• Locate the control switch for the slide-out, usually located on the
monitor panel, or on the bedroom wall.
• Clear all people, pets and objects from the slide-out room path.
• Press and hold the switch in the
IN position. The slide-out room
will move slowly IN . To stop the slide-out room before the room
reaches the IN position, release the switch. To continue the room
movement, push and hold the switch in. The motor will
automatically stop when the slide-out room is fully retracted.
• Release the switch.
• Rain water can pool on the slide-out awning. Added weight will
cause the awning to sag. Upon retracting the room, the material
can catch between the top of the slide room and the opening in
the the motorhome. It will be necessary to retract the room in small
increments, allowing the water time to run off.
CAUTION: Continuous operation of the slide-out room can drain
the battery and damage the slide-out motor from overheating.
Never move the motorhome without having the slide-out room
retracted.
