SLIDE OUT OPERATION
CAUTION: Read and follow all warning labels in the coach and safety instruc-
tions in the Power Gear owner manual and as posted inside your coach.
To operate the SLIDE-OUT rooms you MUST first remove the interior travel locks.
These are located on the top of the room on the interior of the coach and are out of
your normal sight. There are two and they provide pressure between the exterior wall
of the coach and the top facer board on the room. They have a caming action and the
tension is adjustable. The first time you remove them you’ll probably need to stand on
a stable step stool to see how the cam is released. After seeing their simple operation
you may able to operate them from the floor according to your height and strength.
Also make sure the driver’s seat is forward enough to clear the room. Push and hold
the rocker switch located at the top of the control panel in the hallway. You’ll easily
be able to tell by the sound of the mechanism when the room is fully extended or
retracted. Instructions for manual retraction and extension of the room during a power
failure are in the Power gear owner’s manual.
NOTE: Before a slide-out room can be deployed the ignition switch must be off.
We also recommend leveling the coach prior to deploying the slide-out.
To operate the SLIDE OUT ROOM, push and hold the Slide Out Room rocker switch.
You’ll easily be able to tell by the sound of the mechanism when the room is fully
extended or retracted.
