Emergency Push-In Procedure

In the unlikely event that your bedroom

slideout fails to retract using the power switch,

check for obvious causes first, such as low charge

on the chassis batteries, or a burned out fuse on

the hydraulic system control box. (See "Slideout

Room Troubleshooting" elsewhere in this

section.)

'Push-In" Procedure

•

Open the slideout room solenoid valves on the

pump to relieve hydraulic line pressure. (See

"Step 1: Relieve Hydraulic Line Pressure"

and photos on previous pages.)

•

DO NOT OPEN THE LEVELING JACK

VALVES.

•

Apply a steady inward pressure of

approximately 150 lbs. to the exterior

sidewall of the slideout room to push the room

in toward the coach until it is snug against the

main coach sidewall.

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 Indus-

tries

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.
