SECTION 2
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
·
One of the fuses may be blown. Fuses are
located on the interior firewall beneath the
dash, beneath the instrument panel dash pod,
and inside the leveling control pad housing.
Unfasten the control pad from the driver side
armrest panel to inspect the fuse.
·
If the batteries and fuses are okay, there may
be a failure in the hydraulic system or electri-
cal system. See “Emergency Crank-In In-
structions” below for help.
Front Slideout Room Emergency Crank-In
Procedure (Use only when slideout room will
not retract using control switch)
If a failure occurs in the slideout electrical or
hydraulic systems, and the room will not retract
using the control switch, you can manually crank
the room in using an emergency winch system
described below. The winch is stored in a cargo
compartment on the passenger side of the coach.
Step 1 - Relieve Hydraulic Line Pressure
·
Open the hydraulic pump valves on the in-
board end of the pump to release hydraulic
line pressure and let fluid bypass into the flu-
id reservoir. The pump is located behind an
access panel in the cargo compartment just to
the rear of the LP Gas Tank on the driver side
of the coach. (It is visible to the rear of this
compartment while the slideout room is ex-
tended.)
·
Open the T-handle valves on the INSIDE
END of the pump only. Turn T-handles
counterclockwise to open.
DO NOT OPEN ANY OF THE 4 VALVES
ON THE OUTSIDE END OF THE PUMP
because they regulate the leveling jacks.
NOTE: The T-handles may turn easily at first but
will become more difficult to turn as
internal springs are compressed. Be sure
to open both valves completely (about 6
turns of each T-handle).

WARNING
Stop engine, place transmission in
park position and apply parking brake
before lying beneath vehicle for this
procedure.
