on the house batteries, or a burned out fuse on the
chassis fuse block. (See “Troubleshooting”
elsewhere in this section.)
NOTE: Check fuses #16 Step Alarm and #24
Radio/Acc. There is also a fuse on the
back of the leveling system control pad,
which must be unfastened from the driver
door to inspect.
Emergency ‘Push-In” Procedure
•
Open the “slideout” hydraulic line valves on
the pump to relieve hydraulic line pressure.
(See photos on previous page.)
•
DO NOT OPEN THE JACK VALVES ON
THE RESERVOIR SIDE OF THE PUMP.
These regulate the coach leveling jacks.
•
Apply a steady inward pressure of
approximately 150 lbs. to the exterior
sidewall of the slideout room to push the room
in toward the coach until it is snug against the
main coach sidewall.
•
NOTE: Use some type of rigid, padded
material to protect the sidewall from
punctures, dents or other damage to the finish
from any device or equipment used to press
the sidewall in
.
•
Pressure must be applied evenly to avoid
binding of the hydraulic mechanism. It may
take about 10 minutes to press the room
extension inward completely.
•
When the room is snug against the coach wall,
close the solenoid valves to prevent “creep
out” during transit.
See an Authorized Winnebago Industries
Dealer
for service of the slideout system before
using again.
NOTE:When the system has been corrected,
check hydraulic fluid level and refill
reservoir as necessary. Press the Retract
switch for 15 to 20 seconds before
attempting to extend the room. Then run
the room out and in several times to
purge any air from the hydraulic system.
Finally, recheck fluid level and fill as
necessary.
Further Information
See the Manufacturer’s operating guide
included in your Owner InfoCase for further
instructions and troubleshooting information.
CHECKING HYDRAULIC OIL
LEVEL
See your Manufacturer’s Operators Manual
for complete maintenance instructions and
information.
All maintenance should be done as part of the
normal servicing of the coach.
The oil level should be checked when the
vehicle is first purchased and then once every two
years. Check more often if there is an oil leak in
the system.
Jacks and Slideout Positions:
To get an accurate indication of oil level, all
leveling Jacks must be UP and slideout rooms
must be in.
Checking Dipstick:
The oil reservoir is part of the pump/manifold
assembly.
The oil level is checked and filled through the
breather cap.
Clear any dirt and debris away from the
breather/filler cap before removing. The oil level
should be between the two marks on the breather
cap dipstick shown in the following illustration.
NOTE: The breather cap is located on the top
side of the power unit reservoir.
