TROUBLESHOOTING

If the slide room does not operate, a safety feature may
be engaged to prevent room operation .

If slide room does not respond from switch, check
the following safety requirements:

•  Ignition key is off .
•  Park brake is applied .
•  House battery disconnect switch is on .
•  House batteries are charged .
•  The motorhome is level .

MANUAL OVERRIDE
Living Room/Galley Slideout:

While  it  is  recommended  to  diagnose  and  repair  the
problem  so  the  in-wall  slideout  system  operates  as
intended,  conditions  may  require  the  slideout  room  be
retracted manually . The in-wall system uses a 12 Volt DC
motor located at the top of each slideout assembly . Gears
mesh with the upper and lower racks that are connected
by a drive shaft .
A control module monitors the revolution of each motor
to  ensure  synchronous  room  movement .  Unplugging
each  motor  from  the  control  module  will  allow  the
motors  to  rotate  providing  there  is  not  mechanical
interference or damage to the gears and racks .

Manually Retract the Slideout Room:

1 . Access either the inside or outside (whichever is

easier) the vertical channel assembly by removing
trim and flange pieces around the slideout room .

2 . If applicable, remove the top screw from the bulb

seal at the top of the vertical .

3 . Pull down on bulb seal and remove the motor cover .
4 . Use a pick tool or equivalent to remove the retaining

spring from the motor spring clip . If not equipped with
a retaining spring, loosen the motor retaining screw .

CAUTION:

Do  not  leave  the  slide  room  extended  during
severe  weather .  Conditions  such  as  high  winds
or heavy rain may cause damage . Rain water can
pool on the slide room awning, adding weight and
causing  the  awning  to  sag .  Retract  the  room  in
small increments to allow water run off .

CAUTION:

Extensive  damage  could  occur  to  the  slide  room
and awning when extending the slideout room in
snow, sleet, ice or freezing rain conditions . In such
conditions,  if  the  slide  room  is  extended,  clear
the  awning  and  ensure  free  movement  prior  to
operating the slideout room .

CAUTION:

Clean  the  floor  before  retracting  the  slide  room .
Dirt  and  grit  trapped  under  the  slide  room  can
scratch  and  damage  the  floor .  Never  move  the
motorhome with the slideout room extended .

CAUTION:

Continuous operation of the slideout room can
drain the batteries and overheat the motor .

CAUTION:

Do not use petroleum based products on the slide
seal . Petroleum based products can damage the
paint and will cause premature aging of the rubber
seal .

WARNING:

The outside area must be clear of obstruction that
can restrict slide room operation . Ensure there are
five or more feet of clear space outside the slide
room prior to extending the room or damage to the
slide, motorhome or property can occur . Ensure
there is sufficient clearance inside the motorhome
prior to retracting . Clear the area of people and
pets .

CAUTION:

If a problem with the slideout occurs, contact a
qualified technician .

NOTE:

Several people may be required to push the
slideout room to the retracted position .
