SECTION 10 –
SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING
remaining on the roof before retracting. Lean the
coach slightly to the left (driver’s side) as shown
by raising both right side jacks to let excess water
flow away from the rooftop weather seal and
toward the outside of the slideout roof. Retract
the slideout slowly, starting and stopping to allow
water to drain off room cover.
Retract Procedure:
See “Before Retracting!” before proceeding.
•
Start the engine so the alternator can provide
maximum power for proper operation of
slideout mechanisms.
•
Be sure Parking Brake is set.
•
Insert the Safety Lock key and turn to activate
slideout room control switch.
•
Press the Slideout Room “RETRACT/IN”
switch and hold until the room is fully
retracted, then release the switch.
NOTE: If your model is equipped with electric
slideout locks and the room will not
retract, check to be sure the locks are
fully released. Press the “unlock” side of
the switch for a few seconds, then try
retracting again.
•
To stop retracting the room anytime during
operation, release the button.
•
After the room is fully retracted, deactivate
the slideout switch with the Safety Lock key,
then engage Slideout Locks (if equipped).
See
information at the beginning of this section.
NOTE: Visually confirm that the slideout lock
has engaged by observing the room from
outside of the coach and noting whether
the top of the room is being held tightly
against the sidewall of the coach.
SLIDEOUT ROOM – EXTREME
WEATHER PRECAUTION
Certain extreme weather conditions, such as
heavy rains, heavy snow, and high winds, or any
combination of these, could cause damage to the
slideout room cover-awning (if equipped) or
reduce effectiveness of the slideout room weather
seals.
CAUTION
Do not hold a slideout control switch in the
“extend” or “retract” position for a time
period longer than necessary to fully
extend or retract the room. This can
overheat and damage the pump or
electrical motor as well as other electrical
components.
