Section 5: Slideout Systems
Electric Slide Room(s) (if so equipped)
The mechanical components of the slide out are gear driven. Electric powered slideout room
systems have a manual override to allow you to extend or retract the slideout room(s) in case
of a power loss.
Make sure you have sufficient power available before operating your slideout system.
Level the RV prior to extending the slideout.
Slideout switches are typically located inside the RV, either in the command center or on the
wall. If your RV is equipped with a touch screen control system, your slide room controls
will be built into the touch screen system.
General Slideout Operation
The auxiliary battery (customer supplied) must be fully charged and con-
nected. If possible, the RV should be hooked up to 120-volt AC power so the
converter operates.
In order to operate the slideout rooms, the Park Brake must be set and/or ignition off. To
extend the slideout rooms, press and hold “EXTEND” on the extend/retract switch. The
slideout rooms will not extend unless this switch is held down. Release the switch
immedi-
ately
once it is fully extended or retracted do not let it go beyond the stop. Press and hold
“RETRACT” on the extend/retract switch again to reverse the process.
If the slideout rooms will not extend or retract, contact Customer Service or a reputable
dealer service facility.
Do not attempt to service the slideout system yourself.
After the slideout is extended, visually inspect the slideout and the surrounding area to make
Make sure the interior slideout room path and the slideout room itself is
clear of people and objects before operating.
Keep away from the slide rails and gear assembly when the room is in
motion. They may pinch or catch on loose clothing causing personal
injury.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
These guidelines should be followed when using your slideout room:
The recreation vehicle must be level before operating the slideout room.
Water leaks and other problems could result if the slideout is operated
without leveling the RV.
DO NOT OVER EXTEND OR RETRACT THE SLIDEOUT
ROOM
. Release the switch immediately once the room has been fully
extended or retracted. Do not wait until you hear the motor stop. Over
extending or retracting the slide out room may result in damage to the
stop rod and bracket.
Do not place excessive weight
in the slideout room. It can cause the
slideout room to malfunction and cause damage to the slideout.
Additional support jacks are not needed under the slideout. Damage can
occur to your slideout room from improper use of aftermarket support
jacks.
