9. Reinstall the slide-out side inner stoppers
(section 1.1).
Caution: Make sure all keyless bushings are
tightened to 125 lb-ft before unlocking the pins
or moving the slide-out. Refer to section 5.6 for
torque wrench settings.
10. Using a compressed air nozzle, manually
unlock the pins.
11. Using the manual procedure, extend the
slide-out until its interior stoppers come
close to the vehicle structure for adjustment.
12. Adjust the slide-out stoppers as described in
section 1.1.2.
13. Reinstall the linear position transducer cable
on the slide-out and readjust the transducer
position (figure 42). Leave a 3/8" gap
between the transducer bracket and the
slide-out.
14. Readjust the slide-out stroke limits as
described in section 13.3.5.
15. Re-inflate the inflatable seal at 10 psi (see

1.5 REAR SLIDE-OUT REMOVAL
The rear slide-out removing procedure is almost
the same as the procedure for the front slide-out.
The only difference is the removal of the two
rollers from the bed structure (figure 10), which
must be done before step 9 of procedure 1.3.
1.6 REAR SLIDE-OUT
INSTALLATION
The procedure for installing the rear slide-out is
almost the same as the procedure for the front
slide-out. Before adjusting the stroke limits
(procedure 1.4 step 14), the bed rollers must be
reinstalled (figure 10).
2. LOCKING PIN
The locking pin system is used to lock the slide-
out when in retracted position and link it with
vehicle structure. This is to restore the vehicle
structure integrity. This system consists of
pneumatic cylinders connected to shafts with
variable diameters that move segments located
into a sleeve (see figure 11). During the
extension of the cylinder, the sleeve penetrates
partly into the slide-out receptacle to lock the
slide-out. Then, the segments come to
immobilize the part of the sleeve in the
receptacle and also in the locking pin. Sensors
installed on cylinders send a signal to a logic
controller to indicate if the cylinder is in locked or
unlocked position.

LOCKING PIN MECHANISM
Note: The locking pin system optimal air
pressure is 90 psi. Below 70 psi, pins may not
lock or unlock completely.
2.1 MAINTENANCE
Caution: The locking pins may have to be
adjusted after a load variation in the vehicle
and/or the slide-out.
A load variation in the vehicle and/or the slide-
out (ex: after the conversion) may affect
