Main Room Slide-out
To Extend the Slide-out Room:
• Move the driver seat forward.
• Confirm that there is enough clearance outside the motorhome
for the Slide-out room to extend.
• Ensure the ignition key is in the OFF position.
• The park brake must be applied.
• Storage bay doors under the Slide-out must be closed.
• Confirm the house batteries are fully charged.
• Ensure all people, pets and objects are clear of the Slide-out room
path.
• The control switch for the Slide-out room is at the overhead com-
partment on the curbside of the motorhome.
• Press and hold the Slide-out room switch in the OUT position.
Release the switch to stop room movement.
• Release the Slide-out switch when the room is fully extended
(a change in motor sound indicates extension). The Slide-out
drive motor will not stop automatically; the switch must be released.
NOTE:
Perform the Slide-out room operation with the air suspension system full. Extensive
damage could occur to the Slide-out room and awning when extending the Slide-out
room in snow, sleet, ice or freezing rain. In such conditions, if the Slide-out room is
extended, clear the awning and ensure free movement prior to operating the Slide-out
room.
CAUTION:
Dirt and grit trapped under the Slide-out room could result in damage to the floor.
Continuous operation of the Slide-out could cause a drain on the house batteries
and damage to the Slide-out motor by overheating.
To Retract the Slide-out Room:
• Check for sufficient clearance inside the motorhome before retracting the Slide-out room.
• Clean the floor to ensure there is no dirt or grit that could result in floor damage during
operation.
• Move the driver seat forward.
• Inspect the exterior to ensure all bay doors are closed and there are no sags in the awning
material.
• Remove any debris from the top of the Slide-out room.
• Prior to retracting the Slide-out room, start the motorhome. Allow the air bags to fully
inflate to normal travel height.
• Retract the leveling system or prepare the air leveling system for travel prior to oper-
ating the Slide-out.
• Turn the ignition switch OFF. The Slide-out room will not operate with the engine run-
ning.
