SECTION 10 -
SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING
10-2
The slideout room system uses 12-volt DC
motorized mechanisms with an electronic control
system to provide smooth operation and positive
weather seal.
NOTE: We recommend that you KEEP THE
ENGINE RUNNING WHILE
EXTENDING OR RETRACTING
SLIDEOUT ROOMS so the engine
alternator can provide maximum power
for proper operation of the slideout
mechanisms.
To Extend Slideout Room
Before Extending!
•
Level the coach and set the Parking Brake.
•
Ensure exterior compartment doors are closed
so that they will not interfere with slideout
operation.
•
Check inside and outside the vehicle to make
sure that there are no people who could be
harmed or obstacles that could cause damage
due to room extension.
•
If the slideout room has a couch or other
furniture, make sure no people or pets are
seated on them until the room has been fully
extended.
Extend Procedure:
See “Before Extending!” before proceeding.
•
Engage the parking brake.
•
Start the engine so the alternator can provide
maximum power for proper operation of
slideout mechanisms.
•
Insert the safety lock key into Slideout Room
Master Keylock (if equipped) and turn to
activate the Slideout Control Switch.
•
Press the Slideout Switch in the OUT position
and hold until the room is fully extended, then
release the switch.

To stop extending the room during operation,
release the Slideout Switch.
•
Remove and Secure the Ignition Key and
Deactivate the Slideout Control Switch with
the Slideout Room Master Keylock (if
equipped).
To Retract Slideout Room
Before Retracting!
•
Be sure the coach is level and the Parking
Brake is set.
•
Ensure exterior compartment doors are closed
so that they will not interfere with slideout
operation.
•
Check inside and outside the vehicle to make
sure that there are no people who could be
harmed or obstacles that could cause damage
due to room retraction.
•
Stow all furniture extensions before retracting
slideout rooms to avoid property damage.
•
If the slideout room has a couch or other
furniture, make sure no people or pets are
seated on them until the room has been fully
retracted.
•
Remove all items from the coach living room
floor and close cabinet doors and drawers. Be
sure there are no items at the end of the bed,
behind the driver seat, or protruding from
compartments, which could be crushed or
cause damage to floor covering or cabinets
when the room is retracted.
CAUTION
Never drive the vehicle with a slideout
room extended!
WARNING
CRUSH HAZARD. Keep people and
objects clear of the inside and outside of
the slideout room when operating. Failure
to comply could result in death or serious
injury.
