SLIDEOUTS
There is no set schedule for cleaning the slideout rollers.
It will vary based on the cleanliness of the coach, and
other factors such as dust, dirt, sand storms, as well as the
type and condition of the roads traveled.
The following list provides examples of when the rollers
should be cleaned:
•
Liquid spills on the roller, floor, or under the slideout
•
Fragments from broken glass, pottery, or other sharp
objects on the roller, floor, or under the slideout
•
Sand or other abrasive materials on the roller, floor, or
under the slideout
•
Hair wrapped around the roller or shaft
•
The roller begins sliding on the floor instead of rolling
smoothly
Slideout rollers may leave indentations in the flooring.
This condition is normal and does NOT warrant
flooring replacement.
IMPORTANT
!
It is important to clean the slideout rollers under the
floor regularly. Dirt and other debris may adhere to
the rubber coating on the rollers, which may lead to
a dull finish, scratching, scoring, or further damage
to the flooring. Such damage is NOT covered under
warranty.

Cleaning The Slideout Rollers
This article provides information about when and how to clean the rollers on an electric slideout.
When To Clean The Rollers
How To Clean The Rollers
1. The slideout rollers can usually be accessed by
extending the slideout half way.
2. Blow any remaining debris from under the slideout.
3. If possible, clean the ramps for the electric flat floor
slideouts.
4. If more room is necessary to clean the ramp and
rollers, push out on the top of the room and slide a
wooden wedge between the floor and the bottom of
the slideout in a few di
ff
erent places to create more
clearance.
5. Clean the rollers one at a time with a soft cloth and
a mild cleaner. A wet Swi
ff
er cloth can also be used.
Do not use harsh cleaners or solvents that may soften
plastics.
6. Another alternative is to clean a portion of each of
the rollers, then move the room slightly to clean the
next portion. Repeat this process until all of the rollers
have been cleaned all the way around.
Manually Retracting an R3 or O1 Series Electric
Bedroom Slideout with a Square Shaft
This article provides instructions for manually retracting a bedroom slideout with a square shaft if it will not retract on its own.
If the slideout is stuck in the retracted position,
take the coach to an authorized service center for
diagnosis and repair. Do NOT attempt any of the
following procedures.
IMPORTANT
!
This procedure can be performed on any single
motor electric slideout.
IMPORTANT
!
Prior to proceeding with a manual retraction
procedure, make sure the ignition key is in the
o
ff
position and the park brake is set. Then, try
retracting the slideout again, as some controllers
require the ignition to be o
ff
, and others require the
park brake to be set.
IMPORTANT
!
WARNING
!
The manual retraction procedures are for emergency
use only. These procedures bypass all normal safety
features. It is the responsibility of the person(s)
performing the procedure to watch for moving parts
and pinch points in order to avoid injury.
Option 1
This option requires the motor and gear box to be
operational. This procedure bypasses the slide controller,
switch, and the wiring. If battery power is unavailable, or
if the motor/gear box is inoperable, move to a di
ff
erent
option.
1. Disconnect the red and
black wires connected to
the motor.
2. Using the the wires
attached to the motor,
connect to a 12 volt cordless
battery to retract the
slideout. If the wire polarity
is reversed, the slideout will
extend instead of retract.
