My old trailer had a hole in the curb side(opposite the slide) that you could stick a cranking tool through to engage the slide motor shaft.
The tool looked like this...
You may have to get on your knees to see it. It was about a 3/8” shaft with a pin through it. They vary in types
The weight can be determined by looking at the sticker that has the serial numbers and stuff on it or determining the model number and just google it.
