To retract the slideout, press the in section of the slideout control switch and hold
it until the slideout is fully retracted.
Operating the switch after the room is fully extended or retracted may damage the switch
and motor.

rounding area to make sure the slideout has extended properly and has
adequate clearance from any outside obstructions.

the black rubber seal are set up correctly. The seal corners are cut at a
45° angle. The top of the outside seal must overlap the side of the seal to avoid the possibil-
ity of water penetration. On the inside seal, the side seal should overlap the top.

(retracted).
