SECTION 10
SLIDEOUT/LEVELING
•
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.
NOTE: Use some type of rigid, padded material
to protect the sidewall from punctures,
dents or other damage to the finish from
any device or equipment used to press the
sidewall in.
•
Pressure must be applied evenly to avoid
binding of the hydraulic mechanism. It may
take about 10 minutes to press the room
extension inward completely.
•
When the room is snug against the coach wall,
close the solenoid valves to prevent “creep
out” during transit.
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
reservoir as necessary. Press the Retract
switch for 15 to 20 seconds before
attempting 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.
Further Information
See the Hydraulic Leveling System/Room
Extension Operator’s Manual in your InfoCase
for further instructions and troubleshooting
information.
CHECKING HYDRAULIC OIL
LEVEL
See the Leveling System/Room Extension
Operator’s Manual in your InfoCase for complete
maintenance instructions and information.
All maintenance should be done as part of the
normal servicing of the coach.
The hydraulic oil level should be checked
when the vehicle is first purchased and then once
every two years– or more often if an oil leak
develops in the system.
The hydraulic pump is located under the
entrance step.
Jacks and Slideout Positions:
To get an accurate indication of oil level, all
leveling Jacks must be UP and slideout rooms
must be positioned as follows for each model.
Checking Dipstick:
The hydraulic oil level is checked with a
dipstick built into the breather/filler cap on top of
the oil reservoir, which is part of the hydraulic
pump/manifold assembly.
NOTE:Always clean away any dirt and debris
from the top of the reservoir before
removing the breather cap to avoid entry
of debris and contamination of hydraulic
oil in the reservoir, which could lead to
pump failure or other problems.
The oil level should be between the two marks
on the breather cap dipstick shown in the
following illustration.
