Section 5: Slideout Systems

Electric Slide Room(s) (if so equipped)
The mechanical components of the slide out are gear driven. Electric powered slideout room
systems have a manual override to allow you to extend or retract the slideout room(s) in case
of a power loss.
Make sure you have sufficient power available before operating your slideout system.
Level the RV prior to extending the slideout.
Slideout switches are typically located inside the RV, either in the command center or on
the wall.
If your RV is equipped with a touch screen control system, your slide room controls will be
built into the touch screen system.
General Slideout Operation
 The auxiliary battery (customer supplied) must be fully charged and con-
nected. I f possible, the RV should be hooked up to 120-volt AC power so the
converter operates.
 The RV must be level and the
stabilizer jacks in the extended position
.
 Slideout switches are typically located inside the RV, either in the command center
or on the wall.

To extend the slideout
, locate the slideout control switch and press the OUT
section of the switch; hold until the slideout room stops (travel time is approx. 25
seconds).
These guidelines should be followed when using your slideout room:
 Make sure the slideout is in the closed position prior to hooking the unit
to the tow vehicle.
 The recreation vehicle must be level before operating the slideout room.
Water leaks and other problems could result if the slideout is operated
without leveling the RV.
 Do not place excessive weight in the slideout room. It can cause the
slideout room to malfunction and cause damage to the slideout.
 Do not over extend/retract the slide out room. Release the switch imme-
diately once the room has been fully extended/retracted. Over extending/
retracting the slide out room may result in damage to the stop rod and
bracket.
 Additional support jacks are not needed under the slideout. Damage can
occur to your slideout room from improper use of aftermarket support
jacks.
 Make sure the interior slideout room path and the slideout room itself is
clear of people and objects before operating.
 Keep away from the slide rails and gear assembly when the room is in
motion. They may pinch or catch on loose clothing causing personal
injury.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death
