SLIDEOUTS
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
!
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.
This procedure can be performed on any single
motor electric slideout.
IMPORTANT
!
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.
If the slideout motor has a brake installed, you must
also hook one brake wire to the battery with the red
slideout motor wire and one with the black slideout
motor wire.
IMPORTANT
!
This can also be done at the slideout controller’s wiring
harness by removing the motor’s red and black harness
plug from controller and jumping a 12 VDC power source
at the Molex plug.
3. Disconnect the wire(s) from the cordless battery pack.
Option 2
If the slideout is stuck in the extended position and option
1 is unavailable or fails, try the following steps to manually
retract the slideout by removing the brake and turning
the shaft. Only a few tools are necessary to complete
this procedure; however, it requires the gear box to be
operational.
1. First, locate the strap that secures the rubber boot on
the outside of the motor.
2. Remove the strap, and pull o
ff
the rubber boot,
removing it from the motor.
3. Remove the four screws from under the rubber boot
on the brake.
4. Once the brake is removed, use a wrench to turn the
shaft to retract the slideout.
Make sure you do not damage portions of the
shaft that will slide through the motor, trantorque,
bearing, and cog wheels.
IMPORTANT
!
On slideout motors equipped with the 5/8” reduction gear
nut, it can be turned to retract the slideout.
5. After the slideout is fully retracted, reinstall the brake.
Option 3 - Wardrobe Slideout
Motor with Square Shaft
This procedure can be performed on coaches with a
brake on the slideout motor.
