SECTION 2
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
cranking clockwise slowly a few turns, then
alternate to the other side for a few turns. This
can be sped up by using a helper and an addi-
tional lug wrench to crank both sides evenly
together.
Crank the tire winch clockwise slowly, until
the room is fully retracted. Allow about 10
minutes to crank room in fully.
NOTE: Attempting to crank the room in too
quickly will raise pressure in the hydrau-
lic fluid lines and make cranking more
difficult.
Step 3 - Secure Travel Straps and Close
Hydraulic Line Valves
· Fasten the slideout room Travel Straps as
shown.
· Close the slideout solenoid valves complete-
ly.
NOTE: Close the valves snugly, but do not over-
tighten. Overtightening may cause inter-
nal damage to the valves.
· See your dealer for service of the room exten-
sion system before using again.
Bedroom Slideout Emergency
Retraction
In the unlikely event that your bedroom slide-
out fails to retract using the power switch, check
for obvious causes first, such as low charge on
the house batteries, or a burned out fuse on the
chassis fuse block. (See "Troubleshooting" on
page 2-24.)
2-28
NOTE: Check fuses #16 Step Alarm and #24 Ra-
dio/Acc. There is also a fuse on the back
of the HWH leveling system control pad,
which must be unfastened from the driver
door to inspect.
If an apparent cause is not found, call the
number on your Winnebago Industries Premium
Roadside Assistance card. They will dispatch a
service vehicle to your location to push the room
extension in so the coach may be driven to your
dealer for service of the slideout control system.
NOTE: The following information may be needed
by the service operator to prepare the
bedroom slideout for the "push-in" pro-
cedure.
Bedroom Slideout
Emergency 'Push-In" Procedure
• Open the "slideout" hydraulic line valves on
the pump to relieve hydraulic line pressure.
(See Step 1 under "Slide-Out Room Emer-
gency Crank-In" on previous page.)
• DO NOT OPEN THE JACK VALVES ON
THE RESERVOIR SIDE OF THE PUMP.
These regulate the coach leveling jacks.
• Apply a steady inward pressure of approxi-
mately 150 lbs. to the exterior sidewall of the
slideout room to push the room in toward the
coach until it is snug against the main coach
sidewall.
• NOTE: Use some type of rigid, padded mate-
rial to protect the sidewall from punctures,
dents or other damage to the finish from any
device or equipment used to press the side-
wall in.
• Pressure must be applied evenly to avoid
binding of the hydraulic mechanism. It may
take about 10 minutes to press the room
extension inward completely.
• When the room is snug against the coach
wall, close the solenoid valves to prevent
"creep out" during transit.
• See an authorized Winnebago Industries
dealer for service of the slideout control sys-
tem.
