11 Slide-Out Features

Operating Precautions

Before the slide-out-room mechanism (Figure 11-1) is to be used, make sure the motorcoach 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 envelope of that slide-out room to keep from damaging the slide-out room when it is finally deployed.

  

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.
