Retaining Screw
2. Removing the motor retaining screw will
allow the override spring to disengage the
motor from the gear box. At this point, the
slideroom can be manually pulled back into its
retracted position.

TRAVELING

1. Make certain the slideout room is properly
closed.
2. Leave the power supply switch on. This
powers an electric brake within the slideout
motor and prevents the bottom of the room
from creeping outward.
3. A travel lock bar is also recommended to be
used when transporting the RV in the event of
a power loss to the electric brake.

LEVELING PROCEDURES

1. Choose a site that is as level as possible (some
sites are equipped with a prepared surface
such as concrete or asphalt). Ensure the
ground is not soft and will support the weight
of jacks and/or other support devices.
2. Before uncoupling, level the unit from side-
to-side with suitable lengths of 2" x 6" wood
blocks under the tires. Place the wood blocks
on the ground forward of the wheels and tow
the unit onto the blocks. Use wheel chocks to
be sure the unit cannot roll.
3. Use a small level in the refrigerator, on a
counter top or floor of the trailer to make sure
it is level.
