2012 29bhs How to manually operate slide

[johndiwill]

Reading the manual it isn't clear how to manually operate the slide out.
The motor is center mounted located inside under the couch but nothing like a 5/8" nut is visable. Also not sure about hooking a 9v battery to release the brake. Does anyone have experience with this issue?

If your slide motor is like mine on my 28BHS, and I think it probably is, (sofa slide) look under the motor gear for a nut to turn with a socket and ratchet. It will be easier to see and do if you remove the trim piece that is just above the floor on the sofa. Only a few square head screws hold it in place. It will take quite a few turns of the wrench to move the slide in or out manually. I experimented with mine one time as I wanted to know the manual procedure which was not in the manual, nor was the location of the nut to turn.
