2014 Newmar Essex Diesel Pusher 52
General Instructions
IMPORTANT
The slide out room should be inspected for alignment every six (6) months. If alignment is necessary,
have the room adjusted.
IMPORTANT
The slide out room can be stopped at any time by releasing the slide out switch. If the slide out room
stops before reaching the full “OUT” or “IN” position, the slide out controller may need adjustment.
To adjust the slide out controller, turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the power and
counter-clockwise to decrease the power. Move the adjustment screw in small increments. Try
moving the slide out room again. Use caution. There is a potential for component or structural
damage if the screw is adjusted too high. This screw does not adjust the slide out room speed. It sets
the amount of power required to move the room against the mechanical stops.
Operating the Slide Out Room
Your unit is equipped with Power Locking Arms for the slide out rooms. Designed specifically
for this application, these mechanisms automatically “lock” the slide out rooms to the sidewalls
of the RV when the room is fully retracted, securing the room in place and providing a positive
seal. The operation of the locking mechanism is totally automatic, and begins when you press the
button to extend or retract the slide out room.
WARNING
Before extending the slide out, make certain that there is a minimum of five (5) feet of clear space on
the slide outside 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.
To extend the room, make certain the coach is plugged into shore power or is under generator
power, then press and hold the slide out button. The power lock arms will retract into their
housings, and the room will begin to extend approximately 10 seconds after the voice begins. It
will continue to run until it reaches the end of its travel, or until you release the slide out switch.
To retract the room, press the slide out button as described above, holding it for the duration of
room travel. The room will retract, and at the end of its travel the slide out motor will stop, and
the Power Locking Arms will deploy, securing the room to the sidewall of the unit. Please note
that you must hold the slide out button down during this entire cycle.
The power locks require a minimum of 9 volts DC to operate. In the event of a loss of power, or
if the voltage dips below the minimum requirements, the locks will not extend or retract
automatically.
