SLIDE-OUT OVERVIEW
Warning
BEFORE ACTIVATING THE SLIDE-OUT FEATURES, please read the slide-out room
instruction manual first. Additionally, the motor home must be parked and the leveling
jacks must be used to level the motor home PRIOR to activating the slide-out features
and the ignition switch must be in the “off” position.
General Considerations
Please Note
The Slide-Out Room requires semi-annual inspection (i.e., every six months) to assure
that the slide-out mechanism is properly aligned and functioning correctly. Please
make sure that this inspection is performed every six months to correct any possible
misalignments.
The slide-out-room feature is actuated by means of a readily-accessible, rocker switch (Figure 8-1). The rocker
switch must be manually held down in the desired position (i.e., either “in”
or “out”) to activate the desired action of the slide-out room and continue
to be held down until the desired action is concluded.
Releasing the rocker switch before the slide-out is fully extended or
retracted will stop the slide-out at some intermediate position.
NOTE:
The slide-out switch will only operate when the ignition switch is in
the “on” position and the park brake is engaged
—there is an interlock
which keeps the slide-out mechanism from operating when the ignition is
“on.”
Operating Precautions
Before the slide-out-room mechanism is to be used, make sure that the motor home is parked, the leveling
process has been properly completed. Verify that no obstacles (e.g., branches, trees, telephone poles,
power/water hookups, trash bins, and the like) are within a five-foot space envelope of that slide-out room to
preclude damaging the slide-out room when it is finally deployed.
