SECTION 10 –
SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING
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.
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 Indus-
tries
®
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.
GENERAL SLIDEOUT CARE
•
Wipe outer seals occasionally with talc or 303
brand protectant for smooth quiet operation.
•
Clean the floors inside before retracting the
room to avoid vinyl flooring scratches or
carpet pile snags.
•
See your authorized dealer for regular
maintenance and service of the slideout
mechanism.
WARNING
Never check for hydraulic fluid leaks
using your hands and/or any other body
part. The leaking fluid is under pressure
and is capable of cutting and penetrating
your skin, resulting in severe injury.
