IMPORTANT
Prior to proceeding with a manual retraction procedure, make sure the ignition key is in the off position and
the park brake is set. Then, try retracting the slideout again, as some controllers require the ignition to be off,
and others require the park brake to be set.
WARNING
The manual retraction procedures are for emergency use only. These procedures bypass all normal safety
features. It is the responsibility of the person(s) performing the procedure to watch for moving parts and
pinch points in order to avoid injury.
MANUAL RETRACTION METHOD 1
This method is quick, but requires the motor and gear box to be operational. This procedure bypasses the slide
controller, switch, and the wiring. If battery power is unavailable or the motor/gear box is inoperable, move to the second
method.
IMPORTANT
This procedure is possible to perform on any single motor electric slideout.
1. Disconnect the red and black wires attached to the motor from the coach wiring.
2. Using the the wires attached to the motor, connect to a 12 volt cordless battery to retract the slideout. If the
wire polarity is reversed, the slideout will extend instead of retract.
IMPORTANT
If the slideout motor has a brake installed, you must also hook one brake wire to the battery with the red
slideout motor wire and one with the black slideout motor wire.
1. Disconnect the wire(s) from the cordless battery pack.
2. Take the coach to an authorized service center for diagnosis and repair.
MANUAL RETRACTION METHOD 2
Determine which slideout setup your coach utilizes, and follow the
steps below pertaining to your specific setup.
This method is the fastest one if the motor or gears fail, as it does not
require battery power. However, this method requires a significant
amount of manpower to push in the slideout.
1. Locate the slideout motor.
2. Remove the covers from the motor if it is located in the wheel
well area.
3. Loosen the trantorque bushing.
4. Push the room into the retracted position.
5. Retighten the trantorque bushing (175 ft. lbs. for 1" shafts or
145 ft. lbs. for 3/4" shafts).
6. Reinstall any removed covers.
