After troubleshooting, follow these steps to
move the Power Gear slideout manually:

1. Rotate the lever on the slideout motor
counter-clockwise about 1/8 turn. This will
release the brake that locks the slideout in
place.
2. Access the manual override. For some
models it is located in front of the slideout
rail assembly and for other models, it will
be found behind the drivers seat.
a. For models with the override in front of
the slideout rail assembly, using a 3/4"
or 1/2" drive ratchet with a 3/4" socket,
crank the slideout until it is fully
retracted (or extended).
b. For models with the override behind the
drivers seat, using a 3/4" drive ratchet
with a 1-1/8" socket, crank the slideout
until it is fully retracted (or extended).

3. When the slideout is fully retracted (or
extended), apply pressure to the ratchet
handle and return the brake release lever
on the motor to its normal downward
position. This will ensure that the slideout
is locked in a sealed position.
WARNING
When the slideout motor brake is released
the slideout will not lock into place and it will
not be sealed from the outdoors! When the
slideout has been retracted, be sure to
return the brake release lever to its
downward position, install the transit bars
and the tie down strap (if applicable) in
order to seal and lock the slideout.
4. Install the transit bars and tie down strap (if
applicable) and take the unit to your RV
dealer for service.
WARNING
For models with a slideout front facing
dinette seat, always confirm that the tie
down strap is installed correctly prior to
travel.
5. Contact an RV dealer or serice center for a
service appointment.
