SECTION 10 –
SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING

•
After loosening the lock screws, fit the ratchet
wrench onto the bolt head and begin cranking
clockwise slowly a few turns, then alternate to
the other side for a few turns.
Have an assistant use an additional wrench,
then crank both sides evenly together to speed
this process.
•
Crank the wrench(es) clockwise slowly, until
the room is fully retracted.
Allow about 10 minutes to crank room in
fully.
NOTE: Attempting to crank the room in too
quickly will raise pressure in the
hydraulic fluid lines and make cranking
more difficult.
Step 3: Secure Travel Locks and Close
Hydraulic Line Valves
•
Activate travel locks.
•
Close the slideout solenoid valves completely.
NOTE: Close the valves snugly, but do not
overtighten. Overtightening may cause
internal damage to the valves.
•
See your dealer for service of the room
extension system before using again.
Bedroom Slideout Rooms -
Emergency Push-In Procedure
In the unlikely event that your bedroom
slideout fails to retract using the power switch,
check for obvious causes first, such as low charge
on the chassis batteries or a burned out fuse on
the chassis fuse block or control pad. (See
“Slideout Room Troubleshooting” elsewhere in
this section).
If an apparent cause is not found, call a towing
center to have a service vehicle sent to your
location to push the room extension in so the
coach may be driven to your dealer for service of
the slideout control system.
NOTE: The following information may be
needed by the service operator to
prepare the bedroom slideout for the
“push-in” procedure.
‘Push-In” Procedure
•
Open the slideout hydraulic line valves on the
pump to relieve hydraulic line pressure. (See
“Step 1: Relieve Hydraulic Line Pressure”
and
photos on previous pages.)
Lock
Screw
Retract Bolt
Crank the Slideout Retract Bolt
(with the Ratchet Wrench provided)
CAUTION
The Retract Bolts must be “backed out” to
their original positions immediately after
the crank-in procedure to avoid damaging
the retract bolts and slideout mechanism
the next time the room is extended.
