The electric powered slideout system is
designed for additional floor space and
comfort. The mechanical components are
gear driven and have a manual override to
allow you to extend or retract the slideout(s) in
case of a power loss. For the slideout system
to work properly, the RV must be leveled
before extending the room. Check the vehicle
leveling by placing a circular bubble level in the
center of the freezer floor with the RV leveled.
Make sure you have sufficient power available
before operating your slideout system (refer to
Sec. 2 Electrical Systems, Calculating
electrical load).
