The slide-out rooms operate using an electric switch controlling a
electric drive motor. Slide-out room operation uses many safety
features preventing 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 should be checked 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.
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.
WARNING: 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.
