SECTION 10
SLIDEOUT/LEVELING
If it has rained recently before you retract the
slideout room, we recommend using the
hydraulic leveling system to lean the coach and
drain off any excess water possibly 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 slide-out roof.
Retract Procedure:
See “Before Retracting!” before proceeding.
•
Start the engine so the alternator can provide
maximum power for proper operation of
slideout mechanisms.
•
Set the Parking Brake. An interlock relay
system will then provide power to the slideout
control switches.
•
Press the Slideout Room switch ‘RETRACT/
IN’ and hold until the room is fully retracted,
then release the switch.
Note: If the room will not retract, check to be
sure the travel locks are fully unlocked.
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, press the
‘lock’ side of the Slideout Lock switch and
hold for about 7 seconds until the lock is fully
secured (front slideouts only).
Note: Visually confirm that the slideout lock has
engaged by looking at the room from
outside the coach and observing that 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 awning-cover (if equipped) or
reduce effectiveness of the slideout room weather
seals.
CAUTION
Although there is an awning over the roof
of the slideout room, there is a possibility
of debris getting onto the roof. Because
the slideout roof is drawn into the interior
of the coach when retracted, be sure
there is no debris, such as excessive dirt,
tree seeds, twigs, leaves, etc. on the roof
before retracting.
WARNING
Keep all persons clear of the slideout
room and moving parts while extending or
retracting. Do not occupy the slideout
room while it is being extended or
retracted.
CAUTION
Holding a control switch in the “extend” or
“retract” position for a time period longer
than necessary to fully extend or retract
the hydraulic cylinders, can cause
overheating and damage to the pump
motor as well as the electrical
components.
