CAUTION:
DO NOT leave the slide room extended
during severe weather. Conditions such
as high winds or heavy rain may cause
damage. Rain water can pool on the slide
room awning, adding weight and causing
the awning to sag. Retract the room in
small increments to allow water run off.
Guidelines to ensure long life of slide system:
Inspect roof of the slide for debris such
as pine needles, dirt, leaves, sticks,
etc. Debris left on the top may cause
damage to the seals during retraction.
If debris is present, wash with soap and
water, then rinse.
When the room is out, inspect the wipe
seal for dirt or other foreign material and
for tears.
If the slide room leaks, fully retract the
room. If necessary, tape exterior opening
closed with duct tape until repairs to the
motorhome can be completed.
CAUTION:
Firmly latch all cabinet doors adjacent
to the slide before extending or
retracting the rooms. Damage to doors
or the fascia may occur.
NOTE:
DO NOT use petroleum based products
on the slide seal. Petroleum based
products can damage the paint and will
cause premature aging of the rubber seal.
NOTE:
Dirt and grit trapped under the slide
room could result in damage to the
floor. If the motorhome has a ceramic
tile floor, ensure the floor is clean
before retracting the slide room.
Trapped dirt or grit under the slide
room can scratch the floor surface.
Never move the motorhome with the
slide room extended.
Extending & Retracting Slide Rooms
CAUTION:
The motorhome must be supported by
the air suspension (air bags) whether
extending or retracting the slide room.
Do Not operate the slide out room with
the air suspension (air bags) deflated
or when supported by hydraulic
jacks. Damage to the slide out room,
mechanism or seals can occur.
To Extend or Retract Slide Rooms:
Confirm the house batteries are fully
charged.
Turn on interior house power.
Ensure the cab seats are in the forward
position. Clean the floor of dirt or grit
that could result in damage during
operation.
Open a window or vent to equalize
pressure during slide operation.
Confirm there is enough clearance
inside/outside the motorhome for the
room to extend/retract.
Retract hydraulic jacks. Start the engine.
Press Travel Mode on air level control
panel (if equipped). Allow time for the
air suspension to support the chassis.
Turn off the engine. Ensure park brake is
applied prior to extending the slide room.
Ensure all people, pets and objects are
clear of the slide room path.
The switch for the slide rooms are
located on the hallway monitor panel.
Press and hold the slide room switch to
the desired (IN or OUT) position.
Release the switch anytime to stop
room movement. The drive motor will
not automatically stop; the switch must
be released. A change in motor sound
indicates full extension/retraction.
CAUTION:
Continuous operation of the slide room
can drain the batteries and damage the
motor by overheating.
WARNING:
The outside area must be clear of
obstruction that can restrict slide room
operation. Ensure there is five or more
feet of clear space outside the slide
room prior to extending the room or
damage to the slide, the motorhome or
property can occur. When retracting
the slide room, ensure there is sufficient
clearance inside the motorhome.
