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.
•
Engage the parking brake.
•
Start the engine so the alternator can provide
maximum power for proper operation of
slideout mechanisms.
•
Press the Slideout Room “RETRACT/IN”
switch and hold until the room is fully
retracted, then release the switch.
•
To stop retracting the room during operation,
release the button.
•
After the room is retracted, Remove and
Securely store the Ignition Key, then refasten
the travel lock or latch inside the motorhome
(if equipped).
Emergency Retraction
In the case of a power failure, the HWH
slideout can be retracted by locating the slideout
Cylinder retract valves, 2 per slideout, and
placing them in the “open” position. The pressure
will release, and you can then manually push in
the room.
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 or reduce effectiveness of the
slideout room weather seals.
Also, freezing rain and snow can prevent the
slideout from closing and may cause damage to
the slideout room, weather seals, and
mechanisms.
To avoid potential damage, we recommend
retracting your slideout room during extreme
weather conditions.
GENERAL SLIDEOUT CARE
•
Keep slideout room seals clean.
•
Clean the floors inside the motorhome before
retracting the slideout room to avoid floor
scratches or carpet pile snags.
•
Wipe outer slideout room seals occasionally
with talc or 303 brand protectant for smooth,
quiet operation.
•
See your authorized dealer for regular
maintenance and service of the slideout
mechanism.
