Manuel slide out operation

If you loose power you can open or close the slide out manually. My question is, where is the motor transmission housing located in order to do this?

I just purchased this unit (27 hfs toy hauler) and there a black switch located on the wall on right side of the stove. Does anyone know what it would be for. Called dealer but they haven't called back yet.

The switch next to the stove is for the fuel station pump.

The motor or "brain" for the Schwintek slide system is actually installed in the sidewall of the slide out opening. If your dealer is unable to get you the information, then please contact our warranty/service department at 574.975.0292.

Could you attach a picture of the black switch you're referring to?

Black switch next to stove.

Thanks meandmylabs, the switch was the main shut off for the fuel station.

Trailer trash 78, I located the box in the side wall under the bed. Thanks for the input.
