Front Slideout Emergency Crank-In - Winnebago Journey Owner's Manual

To Retract Slideout Room:
CAUTION
Although there is an awning over the
roof of the slideout room, there is a
possibility of debris getting onto the
roof. Because the slideout roof is
drawn into the interior of the coach
when retracted, be sure there is no
debris, such as excessive dirt, tree
seeds, twigs, leaves, etc. on the roof
before retracting.
• Remove all items from the coach living room
floor. Turn leveling system on to provide
power to the slideout control switch.
• Press slideout switch and hold until room is
fully retracted, then release the switch.
High Wind Precaution
We remind you to be aware of high winds
while the room is extended because of the effect
they can have on the roof awning. It is a good
idea to retract the room any time high wind con-
ditions would also make it necessary to roll in the
patio side awning. This will protect the slide-out
room awning from possible wind damage.
If Slideout Room Will Not Operate
(Troubleshooting)
• The chassis battery may be low on charge.
Press the Aux. Start switch on the dash to the
momentary (MOM) position while pressing
the slide-out control switch. This momentari-
ly connects the coach batteries to assist in
retracting the room.
• One of the fuses may be blown. Fuses are
located on the interior firewall beneath the
dash, beneath the instrument panel dash pod,
and inside the leveling control pad housing.
Unfasten the control pad from the driver side
armrest panel to inspect the fuse.
• If the batteries and fuses are okay, there may
be a failure in the hydraulic system or electri-
cal system. See "Emergency Crank-In In-
structions" below for help.

Front Slideout Room Emergency Crank-In
Procedure (Use only when slideout room will
not retract using control switch)
If a failure occurs in the slideout electrical or
hydraulic systems, and the room will not retract
using the control switch, you can manually crank
the room in using an emergency winch system
described below. The winch is stored in a cargo
compartment on the passenger side of the coach.
Step 1 - Relieve Hydraulic Line Pressure
• Open the hydraulic pump valves on the for-
ward end of the pump to release hydraulic
line pressure and let fluid bypass into the flu-
id reservoir. The pump is located behind an
access cutout in the large cargo compartment
below the slideout room on the driver side of
the coach.
