SLIDE-OUT
OPERATION
5 • 1 8 4
The main slide-out room operates by electric switches controlling hydraulic
cylinders. Slide-out room operation uses many safety features preventing
mechanical damage or physical harm. The slide-out room(s) will not operate
until all safety requirements are met.
The design of the slide-out system requires very little maintenance. To
ensure long life of the slide-out system, follow these simple guidelines:
• Inspect the roof of the slide-out for debris such as pine needles,
dirt, leaves, sticks, etc. Any debris left on the top may cause
damage to the seals when being retracted. If debris is present wash
with soap and water, then rinse.
• When the room is out, visually inspect the wipe seal. The seal
should be clean and free of dirt or other foreign material. Inspect
the seal for tears.
• In the event the slide-out room leaks, fully retract it. If necessary,
tape the exterior opening closed with duct tape until repairs to the
motorhome can be completed.
• Open a window or vent to equalize pressure during slide-out
operation.
NOTE: Do not use any petroleum based products on the slide-out
seal. Petroleum based products can damage the paint and will cause
premature aging of the rubber seal.
WARNING: Move the driver's seat forward before activating the
slide-out room. Damage to the upholstery can occur. The outside area
must be clear of any obstructions restricting slide-out room
operation. Ensure there is five or more feet of clear space outside the
slide-out room prior to extending the room or damage to the slide-
out, the motorhome or property can occur. When retracting the
slide-out room, ensure there is sufficient clearance inside the
motorhome. Never move the motorhome with any slide-out room
extended.
CAUTION: Continuous operation of the slide-out room can drain the
batteries and damage the motor by overheating.
