Appliances and Equipment
Check for standing water or ice on the roof (if not equipped with slide topper). Remember that the slide-
out seals are not designed to remove all of the water or debris that may accumulate on the exterior
surfaces. You must wipe off as much as possible before retracting the slide-out room.
Slide-out Room Helpful Tips
 The RV must have fully charged batteries especially when you are not plugged into shore power.
 Turn off all unnecessary lights and 12-volt components prior to extending or retracting.
 The RV must be level with stabilizer jacks extended.
 Make sure the slide-out room has clearance, inside and outside to extend or retract.
 Make sure water and debris are removed from the exterior and roof before retracting.
 Avoid injury by keeping all body parts out of the way of the slide-out room.
 Make sure all other people are clear of the slide-out room before extending or retracting.
 DO NOT ride in the slide-out when extending or retracting.
 DO NOT step on the slide-out floor or use the dinette or sofa of the slide-out when the room is
retracted. The slide-out floor is not supported while in the retracted position and stepping on it
may cause structural damage that will not be covered under warranty.
 When storing your RV slide-out rooms should be retracted.
In the event that your slide-out system (if equipped) fails to function due to a loss of power or
component failure you do have a mechanical override option available to bring the slide room in for
travel. This applies to both style mechanisms. Carefully read the manufacturer's literature provided in
your owner information packet for complete operating instructions prior to using.
Ram Slide System Override
To manually override the ram system you will first need to locate its access panel underneath the RV
near either the front or the rear ram on the slide-out room side of the RV.
1. You will need a 3/4" socket and ratchet wrench preferably 1/2" drive with a long handle or you
may use a wrench. These items would be handy to keep in your RV toolbox.
2. Remove the access panel.
3. Disconnect the motor wires at the connectors (see figure 1).
4. With your thumb, depress the locking brake lever spring on the right-hand side of the motor
cover. Then rotate the override lever counterclockwise with your index finger to disengage the
motor brake (see figure 2).
5. Check for any obstacles that might be in the path of the slide-out room.
6. Push the room in until it is snugged up. This may require assistance.
7. Locate the manual override drive adapter on the output shaft of the gearbox (see figures 1&2).
This is where you will operate the override with the 3/4" socket wrench.
8. Using your 3/4" socket and ratchet crank the room in completely so that the seals compress as
they would normally.
9. Engage the brake lever by rotating clockwise as viewed from the end of the motor.
10. Check to make sure that you have a good seal.
11. Reconnect the motor electrical connections.
12. Take your RV to an authorized dealer for service.
