Your slideout system has been designed to
require very little maintenance. To ensure a
long life of your slideout system, read,
understand and follow these simple
instructions. This system contains a pre-lubed
bearing that is lubricated when the room is
moved in and out. Do not spray oil or grease
on the rails while the room is extended.

slideout switch is depressed, follow these
steps.

connections.
Check the 12-volt fuse or circuit breaker.
Check for loose connections at the
slideout motor.
If the slideout still will not operate, follow
these steps.
If the slideout is extended, refer to the
following section on overriding the specific
slideout system installed on your RV.
If the slideout is retracted, leave it in that
position.
