Slide Room Operation
Forest River recreational vehicles are equipped with
hydraulic or electric slide out systems, or a combination
of both. In this manual, you will find general information
that will pertain to all operations, and in addition, some
more brand specific information. If the following proce-
dure doesn’t apply to your recreational vehicle, please
consult the slide room manufacturer’s owner’s manual
that you received with your recreational vehicle and fol-
low those directions.
NOTE:
We recommend that your RV be plugged into a 120VAC
receptacle or have the generator running, during jack
and slide out operation. This will help ensure that the
battery maintains proper voltage during operation.
Before Beginning Slide Room
Operation
Before extending the room, check the exterior of the RV
to be sure the room will not hit anything outside when it
is fully extended and the interior to be sure the slide
room travel is free from obstruction.
NOTE:
For optimum performance, the slide out system requires
full battery current and voltage. The battery must be
maintained at full capacity. If the battery is fully charged
and you still do not have power, check the terminals and
other connections at the battery.
DANGER
Do not perform any maintenance work on your
slide out system without first disconnecting the
battery. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury or death.
NOTE:
When operating the slide room, be sure there are no
obstructions in the travel path.
For more information, please consult the individual own-
er’s manual or on-line at

Extending the Slide Room
After completing the inspection as itemized on the previ-
ous page, and above:
•
Locate the rocker switch labeled SLIDE ROOM,
which is generally mounted on the control center on
the wall.
•
Press and hold the OUT side of the rocker switch
until the room is fully extended and immediately
release the button. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the slide assembly.
W ARNING
Never move the coach with the slide room/s
extended.
NOTE:
Always check for debris on the roof of the slide room
before retracting. Also, check for debris on the awnings
before retracting.
Retracting the Slide Room
Take the same safety precautions as previously stated
for extending the room, and:
•
Be sure there are no obstructions on the floor of the
coach or in the path of the room as it is coming in.
•
Ensure there is no visible dirt or debris in the track
of the slide room or under it. Trapped dirt or debris
could cause damage to your carpet or floor.
•
Press and hold the IN side of the rocker switch, until
the room is completely in, then immediately release
the switch.
NOTE:
Always perform an exterior, visual inspection, before
leaving the campground.
Manual Slide Room Operation
Retracting the Room-Lippert System
The hydraulic landing gear can be operated with auxiliary
power devices like electric drills, ratchet wrenches or
cordless screwdrivers. In the event of electrical or sys-
tem failure, this manual method of extending and retract-
ing the slide room can be used. A standard handheld drill
is all that is required. Insert ahex bit into the coupler
found under the protective label. Run the drill forward, or
clockwise, to extend slideout room and in reverse, or
counterclockwise, to retract.
Power Failure
If you have no power, first check the
slide room fuse, in the main fuse
panel. The fuse panel is located near
the floor either in the hallway or bed-
room. The correct fuse is clearly
marked SLIDE ROOM, and is a 15
amp fuse.
W ARNING
When the slide room is in, immediately take your
coach to the nearest dealer. Never drive with the
slide room out.
