SLIDE-OUT OPERATION
The main slide-out room operates by an electric switch that controls an electric motor. Slide-out
room operation uses many safety features that prevent mechanical damage or physical harm. The
slide-out room(s) will not operate until all safety requirements are met.
The design of the slide-out system requires very little maintenance. To ensure long life of the slide-
out system, follow these simple guidelines:
• Inspect the roof of the slide-out for debris such as pine needles, dirt, leaves, sticks, etc. Any
debris left on the top may cause damage to the seals when being retracted. If debris is present
wash with soap and water, then rinse.
• When the room is out visually inspect the wipe seal. The seal should be clean and free of
dirt or other foreign material. Inspect the seal for tears.
• In the event the slide-out room leaks, fully retract it. If necessary, tape the exterior opening
closed with duct tape until repairs to the motorhome can be completed.
• Open a window or a vent to equalize pressure during slide-out operation.
NOTE:
Do not use any petroleum-based products on the slide-out seal. Petroleum based products
can damage the paint and will cause premature aging of the rubber seal.

ARNING:
Move the driver's seat forward before activating the slide-out room. Damage to the
upholstery can occur. The outside area must be clear of any obstructions restricting slide-
out room operation. Ensure there is five or more feet of clear space outside the slide-out
room prior to extending or damage can occur. When retracting the slide-out room,
ensure there is sufficient clearance inside the motorhome. Never move the motorhome
with any slide-out room extended.
CAUTION:
Continuous operation of the slide-out room can drain the batteries and damage the
motor from overheating.
