SLIDE-OUT OPERATION
Slide-out rooms operate by electric switches controlling hydraulic cylinders. Slide-out room opera-
tion uses safety features to prevent mechanical damage or physical harm. Slide-out room(s) will not
operate until all safety requirements are met.
Guidelines to ensure long life of Slide-out system:
• 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 during retraction. If debris is
present, wash with soap and water, then rinse.
• When the room is out, visually inspect the wipe seal for dirt or other foreign material and
for tears.
• In the event the Slide-out room leaks, fully retract the room. If necessary, tape the exte-
rior opening closed with duct tape until repairs to the motorhome can be completed.
• Open a window or vent to equalize pressure during Slide-out operation.
NOTE:
Do not use petroleum based products on the Slide-out seal. Petroleum based products
can damage the paint and will cause premature aging of the rubber seal.
WARNING:
Move the driver seat forward before activating the Slide-out room. The outside area
must be clear of obstructions that can restrict Slide-out room operation. Ensure there
is five or more feet of clear space outside the Slide-out room prior to extending the
room or damage to the Slide-out, the motorhome or property can occur. When retract-
ing 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 by overheating.
