Extending & Retracting Slide Rooms
To Extend or Retract Slide Rooms:
Move the driver/passenger seat forward.
Clean the floor of dirt or grit that could
result in damage during operation.
Confirm there is enough clearance inside/
outside the motorhome for the room to
extend/retract. Allow at least five feet of
clearance to extend a slide-out.
Retract hydraulic
jacks.
Make sure engine
is turned off.
Ensure park brake
is applied when
extending and
retracting the slide
room.
Confirm the house batteries are fully
charged and operating.
Ensure people, pets and objects are clear
of the slide room path.
Firmly latch all cabinet doors and close
drawers. Damage to the doors, drawers
and fascia can occur.
Open a window or vent to equalize
pressure during slide operation.
Remove lock bar prior to extending slide-
out.
Locate the slide-out room control switch.
Press and hold the slide room switch to
the desired (
IN
or
OUT
) position.
Release the switch anytime to stop
room movement. The drive motor will
not automatically stop; the switch must
be released. A change in motor sound
indicates full extension/retraction.
CAUTION:
Continuous operation of the slide room
can drain the batteries and overheat the
motor.
WARNING:
The outside area must be clear of
obstructions that can restrict slide room
operation. Ensure there is five or more
feet of clear space outside the slide room
prior to extending the room or damage
to the slide, the motorhome or property
can occur. When retracting the slide
room, ensure there is sufficient clearance
inside the motorhome. Move the driver/
passenger seat forward before activating
the slide room.
CAUTION:
If a problem with the slide-out occurs,
contact a qualified technician.
Troubleshooting
If the slide room does not operate, a safety
feature may be engaged to prevent room
operation.

switch:
Ensure ignition key is OFF.

Make sure the lock bar is removed.
House battery disconnect switch is ON.
House batteries are fully charged.
If the slide room does not operate after
checking the safety requirements:
Examine all electrical connections at the
slide-out switch.
Check the 5 Amp fuse and 20 Amp
circuit breaker in the black box located in
the curbside battery compartment.
Check the slide-out relay fuse found in
the roadside front distribution panel.
