SECTION 13
SLIDEOUT ROOM
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.
General Slideout Care
• Wipe outer seals occasionally with talc or
303 brand protectant for smooth quiet opera-
tion.
• Clean the floors inside before retracting the
room to avoid vinyl flooring scratches or car-
pet pile snags.
• Be sure there are no items at the end of the
bed or behind the driver seat or protruding
from compartments which could be crushed
or cause damage to floor covering or cabinets
when the room is retracted.
• See your authorized dealer for regular main-
tenance and service of the mechanism and
hydraulic system.
If Slideout Room Will Not Operate
(Troubleshooting)
• The chassis battery may be low on charge.
Press the Battery Boost switch on the dash to
the boost position while pressing the slide-
out control switch. This momentarily con-
nects the coach batteries to assist in retract-
ing the room.
• One of the fuses may be blown. Fuses are
located on the front firewall behind the
'hood' panel, 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.
13-8
• If the batteries and fuses are okay, there may
be a failure in the hydraulic system or electri-
cal system.
Step 1 - Relieve Hydraulic Line Pressure
• Open the hydraulic pump slideout solenoid
valves to release hydraulic line pressure and
let fluid bypass into the fluid reservoir. The
pump is located under the entrance step.
WARNING
Stop engine, place transmission in
park position and apply parking brake
before lying beneath vehicle for this
procedure.
NOTE: The hydraulic pump is equipped with two
types of hydraulic solenoid valves
shown. The leveling jack solenoids have
a T-handle on the valve shaft that can be
turned by hand. The slideout room sole-
noid has a small 1/4" nut at the end of
the valve shaft that requires you to use a
1/4" nut driver built into the shaft of the
oil reservoir breather/fill cap. See photo
on following page.
See the Operator's manual included in
your Owner InfoCase for specific in-
structions on which valves to open for
front or rear slideout rooms and what
additional precautions to follow.
• Open the two slideout solenoid valves (with
1/4" nuts on the ends) on the motor end of the
pump to relieve hydraulic line pressure. DO
NOT LOOSEN NUTS MORE THAN 4
FULL TURNS.
