Overriding The Electric Main Room/Bedroom Slideout System - Jayco Conventional Travel Trailer Owner's Manual

Overriding the Electric Main Room/Bedroom Slideout System

The Power Gear slideout system is equipped with a manual crank override that allows
you to extend or retract the room if there is a loss of power.
If the system will not move when the switch is pressed, check the following:
• Is the system turned on?
• Is the battery connected and does it have a full charge?
• Are the travel bars removed?
After checking the above, follow these steps to move the slideout manually.
Tools required:
• ScruLox head screwdriver (if trailer has an underbelly)
• Crank Handle (included with unit)
• 1/2" wrench
• Adjustable Wrench (for bedroom slideout only)
MAIN ROOM SLIDEOUT OVERRIDE
1. Make sure that the ON/OFF switch for the
system is turned "OFF." The override will
not work if the switch is turned "ON."
2. If the travel trailer has an underbelly, locate
and remove the access panel for the motor.
The motor is located just inside the roadside
main rail. (Fig. 3-4)
3. From the rear of the motor, rotate the brake
release lever on the back side of the motor
counter-clockwise 1/8 turn. (Fig. 3-3) This
will release the brake that locks the slideout
in place.
4. Locate the quick disconnect on the red motor wire and disconnect. (Fig. 3-5 and Fig.
3-6) If the motor wire does not have a quick disconnect, locate the red wire coming
out of the motor and cut it 4 to 6 inches from the motor.
5. The slideout is now free to move. Install the crank handle onto the crank shaft and
turn until the room is in the position you desire. The crank shaft is located on the
opposite side of the travel trailer as the main slideout and is labeled, "Crank
Override." (Fig. 3-4)
6. When the slideout is fully extended (or retracted) have one person put pressure on
the crank handle to ensure a tight seal while another person returns the brake release
lever on the back of the motor to its normal downward position. This will ensure
that the slideout is locked into a sealed position.
7. Re-connect the motor wire quick disconnect. (Fig. 3-5 and Fig. 3-6)
8. Install the travel bars and take the unit to a Jayco dealer for service.
WARNING: When the main slideout motor brake is released the slideout
will not lock into place, and therefore it will not be sealed from the
outdoors! When the slideout has been retracted, be sure to install the travel
bars and return the break release lever to its downward position in order to
seal and lock the slideout.
