Section 5: Slideout Systems
It is very important to note that during this procedure, the slideout control
has NO stop locations. Use a second person to assist in determining when the
room is retracted. Damage to the room can occur if the room is retracted too
far.
5.
Press the IN button on the front of the wall touchpad until the room is fully retracted. If
one side of the room needs to retract further in order to get a good seal, press and hold
the motor button corresponding to ONLY the motor you want to move. Press the IN
button on the front of the touchpad to retract the room the remainder of the way.
6.
Re-install the wall touchpad.
Take the unit to an OEM certified dealer for repairs.
7.
Manually Retract Room with Ratchet and Socket
If the power is lost to the slideout motor(s) or the override mode above will not work, the
room may be manually retracted using a ratchet and socket attached to the end of the coupler
(Fig 11).
1.
Gain access to the VERTICAL CHANNEL assembly from inside or outside of the
coach (whichever is more convenient). Remove the trim and flange pieces on the slide-
out room box.
2.
If applicable, remove the top screw from the bulb seal at the top of the VERTICAL
CHANNEL (Fig 8).
3.
Pull down the bulb seal and remove the motor cover (Fig 9). The motor seal may stick
to the bulb seal.
4.
Using a pick tool, remove the end of the retaining spring from the motor spring clip
(Fig 10A). If not equipped with a retaining spring, loosen the motor retaining screw
(Fig 10B).
5.
Unplug the motor from the harness and remove the motor by lifting it up and out.
6.
Repeat steps 1-4 for the other side.
7.
Place a socket wrench with a 3-inch extension and a 5/8" deep well socket (Fig 12)
through the motor access opening and seat the socket onto the coupler (Fig 13). One
person alternating from side to side of the room can retract a 1500 lb. room with or
without a ramp.
™ NOTE: One person on each side of the room with a ratchet and socket will
expedite the process. Room moves ¼ inch for every 30 to 40 degree turn of
the wrench.
8.
Secure the room in place by either:
Re-installing the motors (making sure the end of the retaining screw is re-hooked
to the motor spring clip (Fig 10A).
Torque the motor retaining screw to 40 inch/lbs. (Fig 10B) and the motor retainer
is fully engaged.
Use a travel lock (a 2x4 cut to size) etc.
Refer to Fig 10A and 10B for proper seating of the motor.
9.
Have the slideout room serviced by an OEM authorized dealer as soon as possible. Do
not operate the room until service is complete as damage to the room may result.
