SECTION 2
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
Step 2 - Attach Winch and Crank Room
Inward
·
Remove the register from the floor heat duct
and anchor the winch in the floor. Insert the
winch retainer bracket into the duct cutout in
the floor as shown.
NOTE: Be sure the bracket extensions face away
from the slideout room as shown for
proper support while cranking.
NOTE:
Banquette Option only:
If your coach is
equipped with the banquette option, the
winch will not have a floor duct bracket.
The winch is anchored using a belt pro-
vided beneath the banquette, which at-
taches to the “tail strap” on the winch
assembly.
·
Insert the winch strap hook into the sewn loop
end of the strap beneath the couch.
·
Be sure the winch ratchet pawl is in the lock-
ing position (against the gear teeth) before
cranking.
·
Crank the winch handle clockwise slowly, a
few “clicks” at a time, until the room is fully
retracted.
Allow about 10 minutes to crank
room in fully.
NOTE: Attempting to crank the room in too
quickly will raise pressure in the hydrau-
lic fluid lines and make cranking more
difficult.
·
Unhook the winch and return the winch and
straps to storage locations. Release the strap
by putting slight pressure clockwise on the
crank handle, then moving the ratchet pawl to
the free-wheel position (away from gear
teeth).
Step 3 - Secure Travel Straps and Close
Hydraulic Line Valves
·
Fasten the slideout room Travel Straps as
shown.
·
Close the hydraulic pump valve T-handles
completely.
NOTE: Close the valves snugly, but do not over-
tighten. Overtightening may cause inter-
nal damage to the valves.
See your Authorized Winnebago Industries
Dealer
for service of the slideout system before
using again.
NOTE: When the system has been corrected,
check hydraulic fluid level and refill res-
ervoir as necessary. Press the Retract
switch for 15 to 20 seconds before at-
tempting to extend the room. Then run
the room out and in several times to
purge any air from the hydraulic system.
Finally, recheck fluid level and fill as
necessary.
