released to allow the re-inflation of the seal. The
green indicator light goes out as the rocker
switch is released. At any time during the slide-
out movement, releasing the rocker switch will
stop the operation instantly.
CAUTION
The inflatable seals can be re-inflated only
when the slide-out is in its full "OUT" or full
"IN" position. Do not leave the slide-out in any
position other than the full extended or closed
position as water infiltration may occur.
SLIDE-OUT MANUAL OVERRIDE
PROCEDURE
CAUTION
Never use an impact power tool to manually
operate the slide-out. Doing so would damage
the various mechanical components of the
slide-out.
In case of power retracting system failure, it is
possible to use the manual override procedure to
retract or extend the slide-out.
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.
Preliminary conditions for manual override
procedure
Before using the slide-out manual override
procedure, make sure that the problem cannot
be solved by one of the following simple checks:
•
Make sure that none of the breakers are
tripped (the breakers are located inside the
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
that transmission is in the "NEUTRAL"
position.
•
Make sure the voltage is high enough by
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 overcurrent because of a vacuum
or pressure build up inside the vehicle.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF"
position, and remove the ignition key for
more safety.
2. Deflate the inflatable seal by using the
relieving shut-off valve located on the slide-
out control panel. Turn the handle clockwise
to deflate the seal. Make sure the pressure
indicator reading is "0 psi".
CAUTION
The pressure in the inflatable seal must be
completely relieved to prevent any damage to
the seal.
