Pretty sure that is on the Schwintech slide only.

Yes, you have to remove the panel inside the POD under the stove near the floor, 4 screws. It's not a schwintech slide, its the Lippert over the floor slide. The crank wrench will fit it, and you are suppose to dis-connect the electrical on the motor to prevent back flow current.

If you have a Schwintek slide, I attached a video from Lippert that shows how to elecronically override the slide and mechanically override it.  I'm not sure if R-Pods have a controller that is easily accessable.  A Schwintek slide is the one that has an aluminum gear bar at the top and bottom of your slide.  There also some videos from Lippert that show how to lubricate the internal gear assembly behind the slide wipe seal.....
