Slideouts
DO NOT MOVE OR DRIVE YOUR MOTORHOME WITH
SLIDEOUT(S) EXTENDED.
DANGERDANGER
If installed with leveling jacks or stabilizers, the
motorhome must be leveled or stabilized with the jacks
in the down position before operating slideouts.
Ensure that children and pets are kept well away from
moving slideouts. Always inspect the area outside
the slideout prior to extending to safeguard that the
slideout will not contact nearby trees, vehicles, utility
poles or other obstacles.
CAUTIONCAUTION
TMC motorhomes are equipped with slideouts that oper-
ate hydraulically, electrically, or a combination both. Please
refer to the slide mechanism manufacturer’s owner's man-
ual and follow their safety, operation, and maintenance
instructions. If you are missing this information, please
contact your selling dealership, TMC's web-based Owners
Resource (see note), or the slide mechanism manufacturer
for assistance. For your convenience, many of TMC's
suppliers make their manuals available for download from
their respective websites.
Before extending the slideout, check around and above
the exterior of the motorhome to be sure the slideout will
not come in contact with anything outside when it is fully
extended; also check the interior of your motorhome to be
sure that slideout travel is free from obstructions.
Extending the Slideout
BEFORE OPERATING SLIDEOUT ROOMS:
• Remove travel bars or slide-locks if equipped;
• Engage emergency (parking) brake;
• Place driver and front passenger seats in the most
forward position and place the seat-backs in the
upright position, otherwise slideout may contact
and damage these seats.
CAUTIONCAUTION
Aer completing the exterior and interior inspections
prior to slideout operation:
1. Level the motorhome with leveling jacks or stabilize
with stabilizing jacks (refer to Leveling and Stabilizing).
2. DIESEL CLASS A MOTORHOMES: Place moto-
rhome’s transmission in NEUTRAL and apply
PARKING BRAKE. Engine must be RUNNING for
hydraulic and electric actuated slideouts.
GAS CLASS A MOTORHOMES: Place motorhome’s
transmission in PARK and apply PARKING BRAKE.
Engine must be RUNNING.
CLASS C MOTORHOMES: Place motorhome’s
transmission in PARK and apply PARKING
BRAKE. Engine must be OFF and keys removed
from ignition.
3. Turn the Master Battery Disconnect Switch ON.
When extending and retracting slideouts, it is good
operating practice to maintain pressure on the control
button continuously while the slide is in motion. Avoid
stopping and starting the motors during slideout travel.
If the slideout motors are not in-sync, the slideout will
likely bind while extending or retracting. If binding
occurs, CEASE OPERATING THE MOTORS; the motors
or gear tracks could be damaged. The slideout will have
to be manually retracted. Refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions or the TMC Awnings, Leveling, and
Slideout System Guide for manual retraction.
