SECTION 10 –
SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING
•
After loosening the lock screws, fit the ratchet
wrench onto the bolt head and begin cranking
clockwise slowly a few turns, then alternate to
the other side for a few turns.
You can speed up the process with the help of
an assistant using an additional wrench to
crank both sides evenly together.
•
Crank the wrench(es) clockwise slowly, 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
hydraulic fluid lines and make cranking
more difficult.
Step 3: Secure Travel Locks and Close
Hydraulic Line Valves
•
Activate the slideout room travel locks.
•
Close the slideout solenoid valves completely.
NOTE: Close the valves snugly, but do not
overtighten. Overtightening may cause
internal damage to the valves.
•
See your dealer for service of the room
extension system before using again.
Bedroom Slideout Rooms -
Emergency Push-In Procedure
In the unlikely event that your bedroom
slideout fails to retract using the power switch,
check for obvious causes first, such as low charge
on the chassis batteries, or a burned out fuse on
the hydraulic system control box. (See “Slideout
Room Troubleshooting” elsewhere in this
section.)
‘Push-In” Procedure
•
Open the slideout room solenoid valves on the
pump to relieve hydraulic line pressure. (See
“Step 1: Relieve Hydraulic Line Pressure”
and
photos on previous pages.)
•
DO NOT OPEN THE LEVELING JACK
VALVES.
•
Apply a steady inward pressure of
approximately 150 lbs. to the exterior
sidewall of the slideout room to push the room
in toward the coach until it is snug against the
main coach sidewall.
Loosen Stop Bolt
Turn Retract Bolt
to crank room in
Crank the Slideout Retract Bolt with
the Ratchet Wrench provided.
CAUTION
The retract bolts must be ‘backed out’ to
their original positions immediately after
the crank-in procedure to avoid damaging
the retract bolts and slideout mechanism
the next time the room is extended.
