Slide-Out Room - Airstream A-Series 2006 Owner's Manual

SLIDE OUT OPERATION
CAUTION
: Read and follow all warning labels in the coach and safety instruc-
tions in the Power Gear owner manual and as posted inside your coach.
To operate the SLIDE-OUT rooms you MUST first remove the interior travel locks.
These are located on the top of the room on the interior of the coach and are out of
your normal sight. There are two and they provide pressure between the exterior wall
of the coach and the top facer board on the room. They have a caming action and the
tension is adjustable. The first time you remove them you'll probably need to stand on
a stable step stool to see how the cam is released. After seeing their simple operation
you may able to operate them from the floor according to your height and strength.
Also make sure the driver's seat is forward enough to clear the room.
Push the rocker switch to extend/retract the slide out room. The two rear slide out
switches are located on the bedroom panel and the front slide out switch is located
above the driver's cab window on the wall panel. The room will stop when fully ex-
tended or retracted.
NOTE: Before a slide-out room can be deployed the ignition switch must be off.
We also recommend leveling the coach prior to deploying the slide-out.
Instructions for manual retraction and extension of the room during a power failure are
in the Power Gear owner's manual.
The motor for the slide out mechanism has an emergency retraction/expansion fea-
ture.
The motors are located as follows:
Bed Slide out: Under the bed bolted to the floor. It is accessible by removing the mat-
tress and opening the bed top access door.
Galley Slide out: It is accessible by opening the third lower compartment door from the
front on the driver's side. It is bolted to the floor.
Wardrobe Slide out: It is accessible by removing the center panel under the ward-
robe.
The end of each motor has a nut that can be turned with a wrench, or a socket and
ratchet. The slide out mechanism manufacturer also provides a flexible socket exten-
sion that can be mounted to an electric drill chuck for easier operation of this emer-
gency procedure. Turn the nut until the room is returned to its storage position.
