General Slideout Care - Winnebago Journey User Manual

• Locate the small, round access hole in the bed
base at the foot of the bed.
• Attach the shaft extension to hex-end shaft
and place the ratchet wrench onto the hex end
shaft, then insert into the hole in the bed base
as shown.
• The slotted end of the tool must engage with
the pin in the endshaft on the slideout gear
assembly. See arrow in close-up detail.
SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING
• Crank the ratchet wrench clockwise to retract
the room. The tool will extend nearly a foot
out of the bed base at first, but will be drawn
into the bed base as the room is retracted. This
is a slow process that will take some time and
quite a few turns of the wrench.
• As the room retracts, the bed base will move
away from the gear endshaft, which will
eventually cause the tool to lose contact with
the shaft. When this happens, you must raise
the bed, remove the access cover to access the
gear endshaft, and continue using the wrench
and hex shaft only as shown.

GENERAL SLIDEOUT CARE

• Wipe outer seals occasionally with talc or 303
brand protectant for smooth quiet operation.
• Clean the floors inside before retracting the
room to avoid vinyl flooring scratches or
carpet pile snags.
• See your authorized dealer for regular
maintenance and service of the slideout
mechanism.
