Refer to the manufacturer’s operations manual for complete details and trouble
shooting guide.
Operating the room with any room-locking device locked can cause personal injury and
vehicle damage. It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that all room-locking devices
are disengaged before operating the room.
Keep people and obstructions clear of room when operating. The Pilot and Co-Pilot
seats must be in their most forward position with seat backs in the vertical setting.
The motorhome must be level before extending the slideouts.
Perform the slideout room operation with the air suspension system full.
Make sure there is adequate clearance to fully extend the room.
Do not hold the room control switch in the “extend” position for more than ten seconds
after the room is fully extended or stops moving. If either side of the room stops
moving, release the room control switch immediately.
Extensive damage could occur to the slideout room and awning when extending the
slideout room in snow, sleet, ice or freezing rain. In such conditions, if the slideout room
is extended, clear the awning and ensure free movement prior to operating the slideout
room.
Do not leave the slideout in the extended position during severe weather.
Conditions such as high winds or heavy rain may cause damage to an extended
slideout.
Debris trapped under the slideout room could result in damage to the floor.
Continuous operation of the slideout could cause a drain on the coach batteries and
damage to the slideout motor.
NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the off position to operate the slideout system.
NOTE: Erratic operation of the slideout may be caused by low voltage to the hydraulic pump.
Be sure to keep house batteries fully charged to prevent erratic operation.
NOTE: Releasing the ROOM CONTROL SWITCH will halt the operation of the room .
