1.2.1 Maintenance
Inspect the exterior extrusion for any
deformation or deterioration. Check that the
screws are tight. Inspect the sealant condition on
screw head and between the extrusion and the
vehicle structure, and also at both ends of the
extrusion. If needed, clean old sealant and
replace with Sika 221 sealant or equivalent
product.
1.3 FRONT SLIDE-OUT REMOVAL
1. Deflate the air seal completely to prevent
any damage (see the slide-out operation
manual).
2. Using the slide-out control switch and/or the
manual override procedure, move the slide-
out to its fully extended position.
Caution: Ensure suspension stabilization before
using the height adjustable tables to prevent any
damage to the vehicle or slide-out structure.
3. Support each end of the slide-out with height
adjustable tables. Use plywood panels
covered with soft material, such as carpet, to
prevent any damage to the slide-out under
panels and the exterior panel edge (figure
7). The supporting tables should not obstruct
the slide-out bottom racks. Rise up the
tables to support the slide-out without lifting
it.
4. From inside the vehicle, loosen the upper
shaft pillow block nuts and remove the
shims behind the pillow blocks. Keep note of
the shims position (figure 8).
5. Using the manual override procedure (see
the operation manual), retract the slide-out a
few inches to disengage the slide-out from
its inner stoppers.

Warning: The inner stoppers are used to stop
and straighten the slide-out. The motor drive is
controlled in overcurrent for three seconds after
reaching its fully extended position. Never use
the automatic control without the inner stoppers.
The slide-out could fall down and cause serious
damage and/or injury.
6. Unscrew and remove the slide-out inner
upper and side stoppers. Loosen the upper
structure stopper retaining screws and move
this stopper to the upward position to allow
the slide-out to come out freely (figure 5).

7. Unscrew and remove the linear position
transducer cable (figure 42). Loosen the
transducer adjustment screws and move the
transducer away from the slide-out.
8. Disengage both upper and lower shaft jaw
couplings (figure 1 item 6).
9. Push the upper shaft to its highest position
to allow the slide-out to be removed freely.
