AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS SLIDE OUT OPERATION
The slide out room on the Land Yacht Low Profile models is designed for easy deployment.
A momentary switch located on the microwave cabinet operates the room. To extend or retract
the room, push and release the switch. The room will slide into position and stop automatically. It
is not necessary, and could be harmful to hold the switch down during room operation. To stop
the room while it is in motion, push and release the switch. The room automatically reverses itself
the next time the switch is pushed.
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.
1. Level and stabilize unit before operating slide out room. Failure to level unit may cause
the room to operate improperly or cause damage.
2. Check for adequate clearance to outside and inside objects before extending or retracting
room. Check that the driver’s seat is forward enough to clear the room. Before retracting
room look at the exterior awning/cover for the room and clear any debris that may have
fallen onto it.
3. Read and follow all warning labels in the coach.
WARNING: To prevent accidental injury, stand clear of room while it is in motion.
Check interior and exterior of motorhome for people that may be struck or pinned by the room.
Never attempt to move the motorhome with the room extended.
The motor for the slide out mechanism has an emergency retraction/expansion feature. The motor
is located under the lounge, bolted to the floor. It is accessible by removing the lounge’s front
panel. The end of the motor has a nut that can be turned with a wrench, or a socket and ratchet.
The slide out mechanism manufacturer also provides a flexible socket extension that can be
mounted to an electric drill chuck for easier operation of this emergency procedure. Turn the nut
until the room is returned to its storage position.
