SLIDE-OUT ROOM SETUP AND OPERATION
This section contains information that pertains only to hydraulic powered slide-out
rooms. Read this section fi rst. Additional information which pertains to both hydraulic
and motor driven slide-out rooms can be located in the (motor driven) slide-out room sec-
tion of this Owner's Manual (Page 59).
The slide-out room operates on a 12-volt system. The system is protected by a 12-volt
fuse located near the converter. The electrical system must have a fully charged 12-volt
battery in the wiring system prior to operating the slide-out.
DO NOT OPERATE THE
SLIDE-OUT ROOM WITH THE CONVERTER ONLY. DAMAGE TO THE HY-
DRAULIC PUMP WILL OCCUR.
WARNING: Plugging into the tow vehicle through the seven way connector is not
a substitute for a fully charged RV battery. This charge line from the tow vehicle is
only rated for thirty (30) amps. The fuse protecting this wire under the seven-way
junction box cover will blow if the room is operated from the tow vehicle battery
only. Never replace this fuse with a fuse larger than thirty (30) amps — fi re, serious
injury or death could result!
The switch that operates the slide-out room is conveniently located on an interior wall.
Some models also have a switch in the hydraulic pump compartment. The switch is
spring-loaded and will return to the OFF position when released. To extend or retract the
slide-out room, hold the switch until the room reaches its fi nal position before releasing
the switch. When extending the slide-out room on trailers with the optional front bedroom
slide-out, the smaller room will travel fi rst and the larger room will follow. Familiarize
yourself with the direction of travel of the room with the corresponding switch direction.
If the slide-out mechanism does not operate due to loss of power or electrical failure, the
slide-out room may be closed manually. Please refer to the slide-out room manual in
owner's packet for instructions to operate the room manually.
