Motorhomes, like
all vehicles, flex in travel. Flexing may be different due to terrain and the coach’s fulcrums (resting on
tires or jacks).
This is normally not an issue for coaches without a full wall slideout.
Although the jacks and the slideout
mechanism are both welded
to the chassis frame, the full wall
slideout
sits
inside the coach. Both the slideout and the
coach flex. As the coach flexes, this movement is more noticeable in the outside reveal due to the wider slideout.
If the gap looks good, then the slideout can be operated. If the gap is tight in one or more places, try leveling the coach
to see if that corrects it; then operate the slideout.
If at any time there is cause for concern, do not operate the slideout, and call Newmar Customer Service.
How to Operate the Full Wall
Slideout
In order to operate the full wallslideout with the required voltage levels, batteries should be fully charged, the generator
should be powered on, or the coach should be connected to shore power.
This maintains the voltage levels required to
operate the slideouts.
Due to the slideout safety feature commonly referred to as ‘ignition lockout’, the operation of your slideout will be
prohibited under one or more of the following conditions:
• Partial slideout operation is prohibited when the key is in the accessory or run position, allowing the slideout to
retract, but not extend.
• Total slideout operation is prohibited when the module receives an ignition signal when the key is in the run
position. However, the slideout will operate in the accessory position, because it does not receive an ignition signal.
• Total slideout operation is prohibited when the ignition switch is in either the accessory or run position.
• Total slideout operation is prohibited when the park brake is not set.
• The disabling of the slideout is based on the individual slideout control module programming and the ignition
switch circuit signal.
Once the appropriate safety feature conditions are met and the path of the slideout is unobstructed both inside and
outside of the coach, follow the operating instructions posted in your coach.

How to Manually Retract an Electric Full Wall Slideout
Provides step-by-step instructions for manually retracting a Full Wall Slideout when it will not retract on its own.
If the Full Wall Slideout will not retract on its own, there are two possible methods for retracting it manually. The first
option is quicker, but requires a significant amount of manpower. The second option takes longer; however, only a screw
gun or ratchet is required.
Manual Retraction - Method 1
This will be the hardest of the two options for Full Wall
Slideout manual retraction, as it requires assistance from
several people as noted below.
Follow the steps to retract
the Full Wall Slideout manually.
Loosen the trantorque bushing at the Slideout motor,
allowing the Slideout to extend and retract freely.
