SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING

NOTE: Use some type of rigid, padded material
to protect the sidewall from punctures,
dents or other damage to the finish from
any device or equipment used to press
the sidewall in.
•
Pressure must be applied evenly to avoid
binding of the hydraulic mechanism. It may
take about 10 minutes to press the room
extension inward completely.
•
When the room is snug against the coach wall,
close the solenoid valves to prevent “creep
out” during transit.
See your Authorized Winnebago Industries
Dealer
for service of the slideout system before
using again.
NOTE:When the system has been corrected,
check hydraulic fluid level and refill
reservoir as necessary. Press the Retract
switch for 15 to 20 seconds before
attempting to extend the room. Then run
the room out and in several times to
purge any air from the hydraulic system.
Finally, recheck fluid level and fill as
necessary.
Further Information
See the Hydraulic Leveling System/Room
Extension Operator’s Manual in your InfoCase
for further instructions and troubleshooting
information.
CHECKING HYDRAULIC OIL
LEVEL
See the Leveling System/Room Extension
Operator’s Manual in your InfoCase for complete
maintenance instructions and information.
All maintenance should be done as part of the
normal servicing of the coach.
The oil level should be checked when the
vehicle is first purchased and then once every two
years— more often if there is an oil leak in the
system.
The hydraulic pump is located under the
entrance step.
Jacks and Slideout Positions:
To get an accurate indication of oil level, all
leveling Jacks must be UP and slideout rooms
must be positioned as follows for each model.
Checking Dipstick:
The oil level is checked and filled through the
breather cap located on the top side of the power
unit oil reservoir. The oil reservoir is part of the
pump/manifold assembly.
Clear any dirt and debris away from the
breather/filler cap before removing.
The oil level should be between the two marks
on the breather cap dipstick shown in the
following illustration.
Overfilling the tank can
cause leakage of hydraulic oil through the
breather cap.
NOTE: Clean any debris from the top of the
reservoir before removing the breather
cap to check the oil level or use the 1/4”
nut driver.
Before returning the breather cap to the
reservoir, remove any dirt, grease, paint
chips or other debris from the dipstick
including any debris inside the 1/4” nut
driver.
