AUXILIARY BATTERY (Aux. Batt)
SWITCH
This switch is intended to disconnect the aux-
iliary (house) batteries from the 12-volt system of
your RV to avoid long-term battery drain by elec-
trical items that are hooked directly to the coach
batteries, such as clock displays and radio mem-
ories, etc.
The Aux. Batt. Switch is located on the cabi-
net right inside the entrance door.
Always leave this switch ON except during
storage periods. Some electronic displays and
memory functions may need to be reset after
power has been reconnected.
See also Battery Storage and Maintenance on
page 6-8.
SLIDEOUT ROOMS
Slideout rooms provide spacious living area at
the push of a button. The slideout room is extend-
ed and retracted using a motorized mechanism
with an electronic control system. The slideout
control switch is located on a cabinet across from
the room.
Slideout rooms may be equipped with either
single (center) shaft or twin (end) shaft extension
mechanisms depending on floorplan and room
size. Twin-shaft mechanisms are kept in synchro-
nization by the Kwikee
®
DigiSync
TM
system to
ensure ‘even’ extension and retraction, and avoid
binding that some twin-shaft rooms experience.
The DigiSync system also has a diagnostic fea-
ture and the ability to ‘limp’ the room back in if
the synchronization system fails.
The Kwikee DigiSync slideout room system
uses a digitally synchronized 12 VDC motorized
room mechanism to insure smooth operation and
positive weather seal.
Both types of rooms have similar push-button
switch panels, and they extend and retract the
same way. The DigiSync switch panel, however,
has a green ‘trouble’ light over the OUT button to
indicate diagnostic codes, and a recessed diag-
nostics reset switch in the middle. Single shaft
systems do not have these two features. Other-
wise, the extend and retract procedures are the
same.
OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before Extending the Slideout Room:
1. Level the coach and set the Parking Brake.
2. If your coach has a luggage compartment
beneath the slideout room, make sure that the
luggage compartment doors are closed so
that they will not interfere with slideout
operation.
3. Make sure that there are no obstacles on the
outside of the coach that would interfere
with room extension or could be damaged
due to room extension.
4. Unfasten the safety travel strap(s) inside the
coach.
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 extended.
If engine battery is dead, press and hold while turning
key for emergency starting power.
