CAMPING & OPERATING
switch after the room is fully extended will
damage the switch and motor.
After
the
slideout
extended, verify that the
corners of the black
rubber seal are set up
correctly. The corners of
this seal are cut at a 45°
angle. The top of the seal
must overlap the side of
the seal to avoid the
possibility
of
water
penetration.
Retracting slideout room
Press the IN section of the slideout room
control switch and hold it until the motor stops.
Operating the switch after the room is fully
retracted will damage the switch and motor.
Maintenance
WARNING
Do not work on your system unless the
12-volt DC (auxiliary battery, customer
supplied)
and
120-volt
systems (shore line power cord) have been
disconnected.
Your slideout system has been designed to
require very little maintenance. To ensure a
long life of your slideout system, read,
understand and follow the OEM operator
manual instructions. When the slideout is
extended, visually inspect the inner slide rail
assemblies. Check for excess build-up of dirt
or other foreign material; remove any debris
that may be present. If the system squeaks or
makes any noise, apply a coat of lightweight oil
to the drive shaft and roller areas. Remove
excess oil so dirt does not build-up.
On trailers with a flush floor slideout, a light
coat of silicone spray is recommended one
time per year. To apply the spray, lift the carpet
flap. Using a light coat of spray, make one pass

all along the glide bar. It is recommended that
this be done prior to each camping season.
CAUTION
Use only a silicone spray to lubricate the
glide bar. Other lubricants may attract dirt
and oils which will stain the carpet.
This system contains a pre-lubed bearing that
is lubricated when the room is moved in and
out. Do not spray oil or grease on the rails
while the room is extended.
Troubleshooting the electric slideout
If the slideout does not move when the slideout
switch is depressed, follow these steps.
Check the auxiliary batteries (customer
supplied) for a full charge and good wire
connections.
Check the 12-volt fuse or circuit breaker.
Check for loose connections at the
slideout motor.
If the slideout still will not operate, follow these
steps.
If the slideout is extended, see the section
on overriding the electric slideout system.
If the slideout is retracted, leave it in that
position.
Take the RV to a RV dealer or service
center.
If the slideout extends crooked or only one
side moves, follow these steps.
Follow the steps on overriding the slideout
system.
You may need to push the side that is not
sliding to get it to retract all the way.
Take your RV to an RV dealer or service
center.
