SECTION 10 –
SLIDEOUT ROOMS
To Retract Slideout Room
Before Retracting!
•
Be sure the coach is level and the Parking
Brake is set.
•
Check inside and outside the vehicle to make
sure that there are no people who could be
harmed or obstacles that could cause damage
due to room retraction.
•
If the slideout room has a couch or other
furniture, make sure no people or pets are
seated on them until the room has been fully
retracted.
•
Remove all items from the coach living room
floor and close cabinet doors and drawers. Be
sure there are no items at the end of the bed,
behind the driver seat, or protruding from
compartments, which could be crushed or
cause damage to floor covering or cabinets
when the room is retracted.
Retract Procedure:
See “Before Retracting!” before proceeding.
•
Start the engine so the alternator can provide
maximum power for proper operation of
slideout mechanisms.
•
Insert the Safety Lock key and turn to activate
slideout room control switch.
•
Press the Slideout Room “RETRACT” switch
and hold until the room is fully retracted, then
release the switch.
•
To stop retracting the room during operation,
release the button.
•
After the room is retracted, deactivate the
slideout switch with the Safety Lock key, then
refasten the travel lock or latch inside the
coach (if equipped).
SLIDEOUT ROOM – EXTREME
WEATHER PRECAUTION
Certain extreme weather conditions, such as
heavy rains, heavy snow, and high winds, or any
combination of these, could cause damage to the
slideout room cover-awning (if equipped) or
reduce effectiveness of the slideout room weather
seals.
Also, freezing rain and snow can prevent the
slideout cover-awning (if equipped) from closing
and may cause damage to the cover-awning,
slideout room, weather seals, and mechanisms.
To avoid potential damage, we recommend
retracting your slideout room during extreme
weather conditions.
SLIDEOUT EMERGENCY
RETRACTION (BACKWALL
SLIDEOUT)
If the slideout mechanism is malfunctioning
and the room will not retract using the control
switch, you may need to access the motor/gear
assembly and manually crank the room in to the
travel position.
The motor/gearbox unit is located underneath
the bed. Lift bed board to access.
NOTICE
Because the slideout roof is drawn into
the interior of the coach when retracted,
be sure there is no debris, such as
excessive dirt, tree seeds, twigs, leaves,
etc. on the roof before retracting.
