General Slideout Care - Winnebago suncruiser Owner's Manual

SECTION 10
SLIDEOUT / LEVELING
Checking Dipstick:
The hydraulic oil level is checked with a
dipstick built into the breather/filler cap on top of
the oil reservoir, which is part of the hydraulic
pump/manifold assembly.
NOTE:Always clean away any dirt and debris
from the top of the reservoir before
removing the breather cap to avoid entry
of debris and contamination of hydraulic
oil in the reservoir, which could lead to
pump failure or other problems.
The oil level should be between the two marks
on the breather cap dipstick shown in the
following illustration.
NOTE: Overfilling the hydraulic reservoir can
cause leakage of oil through the breather
cap.
Hydraulic Fluid Recommendation
Universal multipurpose hydraulic oil is
recommended for use in this system.
DO NOT USE brake fluid or hydraulic jack
oil, which can damage the seals and cause leaks.
NOTE: In an emergency, Dexron type automatic
transmission fluid can be used. However,
transmission fluid contains a red dye that
can cause stains if a leak develops.

GENERAL SLIDEOUT CARE

• Wipe outer seals occasionally with talc or 303
brand protectant for smooth quiet operation.
10-8
• Clean the floors inside before retracting the
room to avoid vinyl flooring scratches or
carpet pile snags.
• See your authorized dealer for regular
maintenance and service of the slideout
mechanism.
WARNING
Never check for hydraulic fluid leaks
using your hands and/or any other body
part. The leaking fluid is under pressure
and is capable of cutting and penetrating
your skin, resulting in severe injury.
