2014 Newmar Essex Diesel Pusher 53
For proper operation of the room and locks battery voltage must be maintained above the
minimum requirements. Also please note that there is a safety “lock out” system incorporated in
the slide out electronics that prevents the room from operating when the ignition key is “on”. The
automatic locking arms require no maintenance, and should be serviced as necessary only by a
qualified technician.
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
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.
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 145 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.
