Slide Out Function

During my walk through at the Dealership the tech explained how to operate the slide. He said hold the button for a couple of seconds after the slide if fully extended and do the same when retracting. OK, no problem. But the one thing that still bugs me today is hearing the ratcheting (pop, pop, pop) when the slide reaches its fully closed or the fully open position. He said this is normal. The reason it bothers me is because some of the information I have read for my slide suggests to hold the button until the motors shut off. Mine don't shut off. I just get the ratcheting...pop, pop, pop, then I let off. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong manual. I'm using the Lippert Components In-Wall Slide Out Owners Manual. Is that the right one for a 178 kitchen slide?

When I did the walkthrough on my 2015 179, I asked the dealer about when to let go of the slide button.  He said "that's they way it used to work, but now it turns off automatically."  I hold the button until the motor stops, and then let go of the button.

my slide does the 'clicking" noise when opening and closing(at the end); i guess i let it click a couple times then stop.  i thought i read in prior posts this was normal.  hogone

Does anybody know what slide we have on the 177 and 178? Is it the Schwintek "in-wall" slideout system by Lippert?

I have a question concerning the operation of the slide. Is it possible to extend/retract using the wrench for the corner stabilizers? were is the location on the slide to move with wrench?
