11 Slide-Out Features

General Considerations

Your Wayfarer Motorhome is equipped with a slide-out located on the drivers side and depending on the model on the rear of the motorhome. The slide-out room is actuated by the slide-out setting on the control panel located just inside the side entry door to the motorhome (Figure 93.1).

Choose the slide-out section of the control panel and press the EXT to extend the slide-out and press the RET to retract the slide-out prior to movement of the motorhome.

Operating Precautions

Before the slide-out room is to be used, make sure the motorhome is parked level. Verify that no obstacles (e.g., branches, trees, telephone poles, power/water hookups, trash bins, etc.) are within a five foot space area where the slide-out will be fully extended (Figure 93.3). Take all precautions necessary to prevent damage to the slie-out room when it is fully extended.

  

 

EXTENDING THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM

1. Any loose materials or possible obstructions, such as rugs or furniture should be removed from the immediate, slide-out room area. Make sure that the motorcoach has been leveled, that the battery is fully charged and connected to the electrical system, parking brake must be set and that the ignition switch is “on” and the engine is running before attempting to use the slide-out features.

2. Verify that there are no obstructions outside which may interfere with the operation of the slide-out room.

3. Make sure the ignition switch is on the “on” position and the parking brake is engaged.

4. Push the “Extend” portion of switch and allow the slide-out room to go to its fully extended position. When fully extended, release the switch.

RETRACTING THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM

1. Before attempting to move the motorhome, the slide-out room must be fully retracted.

2. Verify that the 12 VDC system is fully charged and connected to the electrical system.

3. Make sure all personal equipment and any children are away from the slide-out.

4. Make sure all cabinet doors around the slide-out areas are closed.

5. Push the retract section of the touch panel; allow the slide-out room to go to its fully retracted position.

6. Release the rocker switch (this locks the room into position).

7. For the slide-out in the bedroom the bed must be raised to retract.

 

CAUTION: Before attempting to extend the slide-out room(s), check to make sure that there is at least five foot clearance around the area where the slide-out will be extended.

DO NOT allow anyone to sit, stand or sleep in the slide-out while operating the slide feature. This could result in extensive potorhome damage and may cause injury to motorhome occupants.
