SLIDEOUT ROOMS AND LEVELING

SLIDEOUT EMERGENCY
RETRACTION - ELECTRIC
(Front Slideout Room)
-If Equipped
If the slideout mechanism is malfunctioning
and the room will not retract using the control
switch, you may need to access the motor/gear
assembly and manually crank the room in to the
travel position.
The front slideout room has two motor/
gearbox units, which are located near the
“ceiling” of the storage compartments beneath
each end of the slideout room.
Crank-In Procedure
• Disconnect the motor power lead from the
wiring harness (repeat for motor at other end
of room).
• Disengage the motor brakes, which appear as
a flat “square” protrusion on the protective
boot at the end of each motor. Move the brake
lever slightly – about 1/8 turn counter-
clockwise (to left when facing end of motor).
• Use a 3/4” socket and ratchet wrench on the
motor gearbox shaft to crank the room in or
out as needed. Crank both sides of the room
alternately and equally to avoid wedging the
room.
If help is available, a second person (with a
duplicate socket and ratchet) cranking the
other end simultaneously will greatly speed
up the process.
• Crank the room until it is just “snugged up.”
Do not overcrank or you could damage the
gear assembly.
• While maintaining pressure on ratchet
wrenches, re-engage the motor brake by
moving lever clockwise slightly (to right
when facing end of motor).
• Reconnect motor power lead to wiring
harness.
• Fasten slideout room travel latching device (if
equipped) inside the coach before driving the
vehicle.
• See your dealer for service of the slideout
mechanism before using again.
Further Information
See the Slideout Room operating guide
included in your InfoCase for further instructions
and troubleshooting information.
