Monarch SE 2004 - SLIDE-OUT OPERATION

198 | Section 5 Equipment -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- Monarch SE 2004
The slide-out room is electric motor operated and controlled by a rocker
switch. Slide-out room operation uses many safety features preventing mechanical
damage or physical injury. The slide-out room(s) will not operate until all safety
requirements are in place.
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.
• 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.
• Inspect the wipe seal when the room is out. The seal should be clean
and free of dirt or other foreign material.
• Open a window or 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.
WARNING: Move the driver's seat forward before activating the main
slide-out room. Damage to the upholstery and slide-out molding can
occur. The outside area must be clear of any obstructions restricting
slide-out room operation. To prevent motorhome or property damage,
ensure there are five or more feet of clear space outside the slide-out
room prior to extending. When retracting the slide-out rooms, ensure
there is sufficient clearance inside the motorhome.
WARNING: 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. Dirt and grit trapped
under the slide-out room could result in damage to the floor.
