SECTION 5: SLIDEOUT SYSTEMS
ELECTRIC SLIDE ROOM(S) (IF EQUIPPED)
General Slideout Operation
•
The auxiliary battery (customer supplied) must be fully charged
and connected. If possible, the RV should be hooked up to
120-volt AC power so the converter operates.
•
The RV must be level and the stabilizer jacks extended.
•
Slideout switches are typically located inside the
RV, either in the command center or on the wall.
•
To extend the slideout, locate the slideout
control switch and press OUT/EXTEND; hold until
the slideout room stops.
•
To retract the slideout, press IN/RETRACT
on the slideout control switch and hold until the
slideout is fully retracted.
Slideouts may also be controlled by the
JAYCOMMAND/TravelLINK system (if equipped)
through the touch screen interface, mini interface, and/or through the
smart phone app.
If the slideout is equipped with rubber seals, verify that the corners of
the black rubber seal are set up correctly. The top of the outside seal
must overlap the side of the seal to avoid the possibility of water
penetration. On the inside seal, the top seal should overlap the sides.
For long-term storage it is recommend the slideout be retracted.
Make sure the interior slideout room path and the slideout room itself
is clear of people and objects before operating.
Keep away from the slide rails and gear assembly when the room
is in motion. They may pinch or catch on loose clothing causing
personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or
death.

These guidelines should be followed when using your slideout room:
•
Make sure the slideout is in the closed position prior to hooking
the unit to the tow vehicle.
•
The recreation vehicle must be level before operating the
slideout room. Water leaks and other problems could result if the
slideout is operated without leveling the RV.
•
Do not place excessive weight in the slideout room. It can cause
the slideout room to malfunction and cause damage to the
slideout.
•
Do not over extend/retract the slide out room. Release the
switch immediately once the room has been fully extended/
retracted. Over extending/retracting the slide out room may
result in damage to the stop rod and bracket.
