13 - SLIDEOUT ROOM
To Retract Slideout Room:
•
Remove all items from the coach living room
floor. Turn leveling system on to provide
power to the slideout control switch.
•
Press slideout switch and hold until room is
fully retracted, then release the switch.
General Slideout Care
•
Wipe outer seals occasionally with talc or UV
protectant for smooth quiet operation.
•
Clean the floors inside before retracting the
room to avoid vinyl flooring scratches or car-
pet pile snags.
•
Be sure there are no items at the end of the
bed or behind the driver seat or protruding
from compartments which could be crushed
or cause damage to floor covering or cabinets
when the room is retracted.
•
See your authorized dealer for regular main-
tenance and service of the mechanism and
hydraulic system.
•
See the HWH guide in your Owner InfoCase
for maintenance information.
If Slideout Room Will Not Operate
(Troubleshooting)
•
The chassis battery may be low on charge.
Press the Aux. Start switch on the dash to the
momentary (MOM) position while pressing
the slide-out control switch. This momentari-
ly connects the coach batteries to assist in
retracting the room.
•
One of the fuses may be blown. Fuses are
located on the front firewall behind the
‘hood’ panel, beneath the instrument panel
dash pod, and inside the leveling control pad
housing. Unfasten the control pad from the
dash panel to inspect the fuse.
•
If the batteries and fuses are okay, there may
be a failure in the hydraulic system or electri-
cal system.
Emergency Slideout Retraction
Step 1 - Relieve Hydraulic Line Pressure
•
Open the hydraulic pump slideout solenoid
valves to release hydraulic line pressure and
let fluid bypass into the fluid reservoir. The
hydraulic pump is located beneath the en-
trance steps. To access the pump, remove the
nut from the underside of the top step ‘lip’
and lift the step upward and remove.
NOTE: The hydraulic pump is equipped with two
types of hydraulic solenoid valves
shown. The
leveling jack
solenoids have
a
T-handle
on the valve shaft that can be
turned by hand. The
slideout room
sole-
noid has a small 1/4”
nut
at the end of
the valve shaft that requires you to use a
1/4” nut driver built into the shaft of the
oil reservoir breather/fill cap. See photo
at the end of this section.
See the slideout operator’s manual in-
cluded in your Owner InfoCase for spe-
Although there is an awning over the
roof of the slideout room, there is a
possibility of debris getting onto the
roof. Because the slideout roof is
drawn into the interior of the coach
when retracted, be sure there is no
debris, such as excessive dirt, tree
seeds, twigs, leaves, etc. on the roof
before retracting.
CAUTION
Stop engine, place transmission in
park position and apply parking brake
before lying beneath vehicle for this
procedure.
Hydraulic Pump Access - remove nut from bolt on
underside of step and lift off step.
