SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING
•
Crank the ratchet wrench clockwise to retract
the room. The tool will extend nearly a foot
out of the bed base at first, but will be drawn
into the bed base as the room is retracted. This
is a slow process that will take some time and
quite a few turns of the wrench.
•
As the room retracts, the bed base will move
away from the gear endshaft, which will
eventually cause the tool to lose contact with
the shaft. When this happens, you must raise
the bed, remove the access cover to access the
gear endshaft, and continue using the wrench
and hex shaft only as shown.
GENERAL SLIDEOUT CARE
•
Wipe outer seals occasionally with talc or 303
brand protectant for smooth quiet operation.
•
Clean the floors inside before retracting the
room to avoid vinyl flooring scratches or
carpet pile snags.
•
See your authorized dealer for regular
maintenance and service of the slideout
mechanism.
LEVELING SYSTEM
–If Equipped
The hydraulic leveling system makes
selecting a parking site easier and faster by
reducing the effect of uneven ground.
Hydraulic jacks raise the affected low corners
of the coach to make leveling “set up” faster and
easier for you.
The hydraulic leveling system control pad is
located on the lower left side of the dash.
See the Leveling System Operator Manual
in your InfoCase for complete operating
instructions.
It also contains additional
precautions, technical information, and
instructions for manual operation if a system
failure occurs.
NOTE: When parking at an uneven site, always
park the front of the motor home to the
downhill side. This allows you to level by
raising the front end rather than the rear.
Since only the rear wheels are locked
while in PARK, raising either one or both
of the rear wheels off the ground could
allow the vehicle to roll off the jacks.
