NOTE: The GFCI device does not prevent electric shock,
does not protect a person who comes in contact with both
"
hot
"
and neutral sides of the circuit, and does not protect
against electrical circuit overloads.
Test the GFCI at least once a month if operating con-
tinuously on 120 volt power or before each trip. Use a card
to record your test dates. Keep the card in a conspicuous
place and keep it up to date.
To test the GFCI:
1. Push the
"
Test
"
button. The
"
Reset
"
button should
pop out, indicating that the protected circuit has
been disconnected.
2. To restore power, push the
"
Reset
"
button.
WARNING:
If the
"
Reset
"
button does not pop out
when the
"
Test
"
button is pushed, a loss of ground fault
protection is indicated. Do not use the GFCI receptacle
or other GFCI protected receptacles. Have a qualified
electrician check the electrical system. Do not use the
system until the problem has been corrected.
Slide-Out Room(s) ( i f equipped)
General Operation. Each slide-out room has dual weather
seals that automatically seal when the slide out room is in
either the full
"
OUT
"
or full
"
IN
"
position. Make sure your
trailer is as level as possible before operating the slide-out
room.
WARNING: Never move your trailer with a slide out
room extended. Damage could occur to the slide out
room and/or the trailer. Make certain the slide-out
room is retracted to the full
"
IN
"
position.
ALWAYS double check to he certain the slide pathway is
clear of any obstructions before moving the slide out room
in either direction. Slide-out rooms fit tightIv and many
potential
"
pinch points
"
exist along the slide path which can
he very dangerous. Caution all people and pets to stand
clear when operating a slide out room.
The slide-out room does not require any supports at the
outer corners. However, for extended periods of use, some
means of support at the outer corners may be desirable to
reduce the natural side-to-side rocking motion of the RV as
people use the vehicle. If supports are used, do not lift the
room above its normal resting position because the upper
weather seal may be broken. When it is time to move the
slide-out back into the trailer be sure leaves, twigs and
debris are cleaned off slide-out roof.
If roof is not cleaned it may cause slide to form an
improper seal when in the travel mode.
Electrical Operation. Your trailer battery must he
hooked up and fully charged to operate the slide-out room
electrically A low battery charge is the most common
cause of slide-out room operation problems. The trailer
converter will not operate the slide-out room without the
trailer battery hooked up and fully charged.
Each slide-out room is electrically operated by a 12 volt
DC motor. A wall mounted rocker switch inside the RV
activates the motor. Push and hold the switch in the
"
OUT
"
position to move the slide-out room out for use.
Push and hold the switch in the
"
IN
"
position to move the
slide-out room in for travel. Release the rocker switch as
soon as the slide-out room becomes fully extended or
retracted.
Manual Operation. Each slide-out room has a square
ended cranking rod which can he used to manuall
y
move
the slide-out room in or out.
Single slideout models (couch only) require a ½ inch
socket wrench for manual retraction. The cranking rod is
located underneath the couch and can be accessed by
removing the front couch paneling. Disconnecting the
motor wiring harness from the control box will make
manual operation easier however will still require
considerable leverage or torque.
Super-slideout models (couch and dinette) require a 5/8
inch socket wrench for manual retraction. The cranking
rod is located on the articulating drive arm and can be
accessed from underneath the trailer.
Adjustments. Each slide-out room has been factory
adjusted for your convenience. However, if a problem
does occur with alignment or operation contact your
dealer for service.
Converters. Pacific Coachworks uses a 55 amp converter
on all trailers. Converters take the incoming 120 volt
electricity from the plugged in power cord and convert
120 volts to 12 volt current. The 55 amp converter uses 2-
30 amp fuses.
