SECTION 2
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
TRAVEL STRAPS
The travel straps
must be released before at-
tempting to extend the room
or damage to the
coach will result.
The travel straps are designed only to help
keep the room extension secured against the
coach sidewall to maintain an effective weather
seal while the vehicle is in motion. They are not
designed to withstand the force exerted by the
hydraulic extension mechanism and will not
prevent accidental extension of the room.
The travel straps are located near the floor at
the front and rear ends of the slideout room.
To Release:
·
Pull the strap buckle outward and up to re-
lease tension on strap.
·
Pull a short length of the excess strap back
through the buckle to provide sufficient
slack.
·
Unhook the strap end pegs from the mooring
brackets on the floor and wall edge. Store
straps in location of your choice. (Under the
couch is one choice.)
.
To Fasten Straps:
·
Hook the strap end pegs into the mooring
brackets.
·
Flip buckle downward and press toward strap
until it “snaps” snugly into place against the
strap.
·
If a strap is loose or too tight after closing the
buckle, release the buckle and pull the loose
end of the strap in or out to adjust tension as
needed. Then reclose the buckle.
NOTE: If latches become loose and will not stay
fastened, see your dealer for proper ad-
justment.
To Extend SlideOut Room:
See Operating Safety Precautions before pro-
ceeding.
Release slideout room travel straps
before attempting to extend slide-out
room. Fasten travel straps before
driving vehicle. See instructions
below.
CAUTION
Keep all persons clear of the slideout
room and moving parts while extend-
ing or retracting. Do not occupy the
slideout room while it is being
extended or retracted.
Be sure to allow adequate clearance
(at least 3 feet) beside the vehicle to
prevent damage when extending the
slideout room. Be aware of items like
cars, tree branches, etc., beside the
vehicle.
