SECTION 2
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
simultaneously activate both arms to retract the
room. If one side of the room gets ahead of the
other, release that button until the other arm
catches up. The current limiting feature of the
control still functions in the Semi-Manual Mode
so each side can be fully retracted until it stops.
Once the room has been retracted, the control
will return to the automatic mode after 60 sec-
onds. You can manually return to automatic
mode by pressing the stop button.
In the event of a total system failure where
Semi-Manual Mode cannot be used, two crank
handles may be used to retract or extend the
room.
Crank-In Mode
:
If the room will not retract using the buttons
and the mechanism is apparently malfunctioning,
you may need to manually crank the room in to
the travel position. The cranks are stored on clips
on the wall of the right rear cargo compartment.
To use the crank handles, open the luggage
compartment doors exposing the front of each
room slide mechanism. Insert the crank handle
into the tube and align the drive pin at the rear of
the tube with the notches in the crank handle. It
may be necessary to move the handle slightly
from side to side. The crank handle will only
move the arm that it is inserted into. Consequent-
ly you will need to alternate between each crank
handle on each side to move the room in or out.
If help is available a second person cranking on
the other handle simultaneously will greatly
speed up the process. At no point in the cranking
process should you let one side get more than 2
inches (50 mm) ahead of the other. The most ef-
fective way to retract the room using a single per-
son is to crank one side ahead of the other than
crank the other side in (walk the room in).
Troubleshooting - Problems Extending the
Room
Set the Park Brake if the red Park Brake light
flashes while pressing the Extend button.
If an error is detected, the green LED on the
left side of the control panel will blink an error
code. If an error code appears, see the On Board
diagnostics section to determine the problem.
The error code must be cleared prior to operating
the room. To clear the error, press the “RESET”
button with a small tool such as a toothpick. Be-
fore operating the room after an error has been
detected, check for obvious faults such as ob-
structions before trying to operate the room
again. If the error code appears again, the room
will need to be extended using the crank method
described in the previous section. The crank
method is provided as a means to extend the
room if there is a failure in the automatic system.
If the room must be extended using the crank
method, keep in mind it is likely that it must also
be cranked in to retract. After the outing is com-
pleted and the room is retracted fully, take the
coach to the nearest authorized service center for
inspection.
Never let one side get more than 2
inches (50 mm) ahead of the other
while retracting.
