4. The slotted end of the tool must engage with
the pin in the endshaft on the slideout gear
assembly. See arrow in close-up detail.
5. Crank the ratchet wrench clockwise (to the
right) to retract the room. The tool will
extend nearly a foot out of the bed base at
first, but will be drawn into the bed base as
the room is retracted. This is a slow process
that will take some time and quite a few
turns of the wrench.
6. As the room retracts, the bed base will move
away from the gear endshaft, which will
eventually cause the tool to lose of contact
with the shaft. When this happens you must
raise the bed, remove the access cover to
access the gear endshaft, and continue using
the wrench and hex shaft only as shown.
Emergency Crank-In Mode:
(Model 327L)
If the room will not retract using the buttons
and the mechanism is apparently malfunctioning,
you may need to manually crank the room in to
the travel position.
Use a ratchet wrench with a 7/16" socket on
the motor gearshaft to manually crank the room
inward. (model 726A requires a 12-point socket).
The motor/gear assembly is located beneath
the vehicle near the rear 'ram' shaft of the slide-
out room, just ahead of the driver side rear tires.
327L - View of motor/gear
Crank the room in until it is just 'snugged up'.
Do not overcrank or you could damage the gear
assembly.
Fasten the travel strap before driving the vehi-
cle to your dealer for service of the slideout
mechanism.
