SECTION 10
SLIDEOUT / LEVELING
10-4
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 weatherseal and toward the
outside of the slide-out roof.
To Retract the Slideout Room
See “Before Retracting the Slideout Room”
before proceeding.
•
Start the coach engine so the alternator can
provide maximum power for proper operation
of slideout mechanisms.
•
Press Slideout Room switch ‘IN’ or
‘RETRACT’ and hold until 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 the room during operation, release the
button.
•
After the room has been retracted, refasten the
safety travel straps or press the ‘lock’ side of
the Slideout Lock switch and hold for about 5
seconds until the lock is secured (you will hear
the lock motor sound stop).
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
TROUBLESHOOTING
If Slideout Room Will Not Operate
•
The chassis battery may be low on charge. The
engine should be running while extending or
retracting slideout rooms so the engine
alternator can provide maximum power to
properly operate the slideout mechanisms.
If battery charge is sufficient, go to next step.
•
One of the fuses may be blown in the
hydraulic system control box on the pump
beneath the right front of the coach.
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
Stop engine, place transmission in
neutral position and apply parking brake
before lying beneath vehicle for this
procedure.
