MANUAL EXTENSION AND RETRACTION
The slide out room may be manually retracted. Before attempting to manually extend or retract a slide out room,
please contact your servicing dealer or call Newmar Customer Support at 1-800-731-8300.
IMPORTANT
The TRANS-TORQUE bushing must be re-tightened to re-couple the slide out gear motor before moving the coach.
This will hold the slide out room in place. The correct torque on the 11/2" TRANS-TORQUE bushing is 110 foot pounds
maximum. The correct torque on the 11/2" TRANS-TORQUE bushing of the K-900 motor (center shaft motor) is 125
foot pounds maximum. Slide outs with either the center or end mounted motors can be moved by pushing the room
the full length of its travel in either direction. This method will require the assistance of at least two people.
Operating Precautions
CAUTION
It is recommended that the leveling jacks be extended and the unit lever before operating the slide out. Note: This slide
out can be operated without utilizing the leveling system, but is recommended to have the unit as level as possible.
WARNING
Before extending the slide out, make certain that there is a minimum of five (5) feet of clear space on the slide out side
of the unit. Prior to extending the room, be sure to unlock the slide out locking arms. Make sure there are no
obstructions either inside or outside the unit that may interfere with the slide out extension. Tree branches, bushes or
telephone poles can cause extensive damage to the exterior of the unit.
IMPORTANT
It is important to clean the slide out rollers under the floor regularly as dirt may adhere to the rubber coating on these
rollers and cause damage to hard surface flooring. Such damage is not covered under warranty. These rollers may
leave indentations in carpeting, linoleum and other flooring. This condition is normal and does not warrant flooring
replacement.
