PREPARATION

CAUTION
Prepare scissor lift tables with a combined minimum Safe Working Load (SWL) rating of 2000 lb (1 ton) to
support the slide-out room.
This SWL value takes into account the largest model of slide-out. It also includes any flooring and trim that
may be installed. Slide out must be empty for the procedure.

CAUTION
Two 4x4 beams will be placed transversally under the room (Figure 1). Beams should be cut to length to
support the maximum width of the room while clearly avoiding the rounded corner trim, ( in Figure 1).
Upon placement of the beams under the room, place the outer beam inside to avoid the room exterior
finish panel ( in Figure 1). Place the inner beam as far inside as possible.
Prepare clean, soft material to place on top of the beams to avoid damaging the underside of the room.

ROOM PREPARATION
1. From the inside of the vehicle,
remove any capping or trims
hiding linear bearings at the
bottom of the slide-out on both
sides.
2. Then remove the room extrusion
end caps. (Figure 2)

3. Once the room is fully extended,
remove the screw and tab
holding the flexible plastic rail
cover in place. (Figure 3)
Perform this on both sides.

6. The room can now be extended
further.
Do not remove any additional
stoppers.
Heed the safety warning below.

FIGURE 6: SAFETY STOPPERS ON RAILS

DANGER
Safety stoppers are bolted to the rail ends. (Figure 6)
Never remove these stoppers.
These prevent the room from sliding out of the bearings.
Without these stoppers, the room could slide completely out of the bearings, therefore posing a risk of
death and significant damage to the vehicle's components
7. Deflate the seal by using the relieving
shut-off valve located on the pneumatic
component panel. Confirm by the
pressure gage

ROOM REMOVAL

CAUTION
Failure to deflate the seal may result in seal damage.
8. Place scissor lift tables level with 4x4 beams placed on top and ready to receive the room. Leave room
for fork lift placement in the center.
9. Confirm proper placement of beams according to PREPARATION instructions.
10. Using a cordless drill with a 10 mm hexagonal socket, drive the motor extension to further extend the
slide-out room until the gears leave the rack gear.
11. Finish by pushing out the room evenly on both sides by hand. A minimum of two persons are required
12. Support the slide-out room with the prepared scissor lift tables.
13. Remove the six bolts securing the rail to
the slide-out structure.
14. At reassembly, tighten to 130lb-ft

FIGURE 8: RAIL BOLTS (6X)

15. The rail housing interior dimensions
provides enough clearance around the
rail assembly to pull the room outwards.
(Figure 9)

16. With a suitable fork lift placed in the center, raise the room just slightly by the beams.
17. Inspect to make sure the rails are released from the structure.
18. Slowly pull the room straight out.(Figure 10)
