The manual override procedure consist in rotating
the slide- out motor shaft extension using a
cordless power drill with a 3/8" hexagonal bit.
However, it is very important to follow all the
instructions very carefully to assure that the
inflatable seal or the retraction mechanisms are
not damaged.
CAUTION
Manually extending the optional front right
Prevost slide- out with flush floor should be
attempted with extra care as a last resort.
Serious damage to the mechanical components
may result.
This particular slide-out configuration uses two
electronically synchronized motors for room
extension. As a result, manually extending the
room is not recommended.
Refer to the procedures and guidelines in the
maintenance manual.
However the floor lifting portion of the
mechanism can be hand operated. Refer to
particular instructions below.

VEC on the slide-out control panel and the
main slide-out breaker is located in the engine
R.H. side access compartment).
Make sure the parking brake is applied and
l
that transmission is in the "NEUTRAL"
position.
Make sure the voltage is high enough by
l
running the engine at fast idle or having the
battery charger connected.
CAUTION
Before extending or retracting the slide-out, always
open a window to avoid movement restriction and
to prevent the motor from stopping in over current
because of a vacuum or pressure build up inside
the vehicle.
