When the motor brake is disengaged the slideout room WILL NOT lock
into place; therefore, the room will not be sealed. When the room has been
manually retracted, be sure to install the transit bars (if so equipped) and return
the motor brake lever to its normal engaged position in order to seal and lock
the room into position.
Always disconnect battery from system prior to manually operating system.
Failure to disconnect battery can cause electricity to backfeed through the
motor and cause serious damage to the system as well as void the warranty
The gears can be stripped out if the room is manually retracted/extended to
its fullest extent and the operator continues to rotate manual override. Any
damage due to misuse of the Manual Override feature will disqualify any and
all claims to the Limited Warranty.

check the following:
When these items have been checked and the room still does not move when the switch is
pressed, follow the steps below to manually override the slideout room.
1. Turn the Main Power OFF. The override will not work if it has power going to it. Do
not work on the system unless the battery is disconnected.
2. Locate the slideout controller. There are two versions of the controller.
Version 1, unplug the 6 pin wiring harness from the controller.
Version 2, remove one of the motor leads, either the motor I or motor II lead from
the controller.
3. Locate the slideout motor (Fig. 1). It will be mounted to one of the slideout rails. If the
RV has an underbelly or cover over the motor, these parts will need to be removed to
access the motor. In a bedroom slideout, it may be located under the bed.
4. Rotate the brake lever, on the backside of the motor, counter-clockwise (looking from
