Quote: Disconnecting the plugs removes the electrical lock but does notheing to help you overcome the physical disadvantage of try to spin 300:1 or 500:1 ratio motors on the slide tracks. Although theoretically possible to supply a sufficient force over a long enough period to get the slides in, it is better to just disengage the motors themselves from the trackbar gear and then push it in: End Quote
Sounds like the voice of experience. The small bedroom slides can be muscled in, but it does take some force with the motors engaged but the brakes off. If it is a triple track large slide (with 500:1 gear reduction) I doubt it could be moved without disengaging the motors from the drive gears. If the slide is against an interior wall, the trim must be removed to get to the motors. Bedroom slide trims are the hardest, as there are several sections of wood with hidden screws and pin nails. It is one of those times when it takes four hours to take the trim off and 20 minutes to put it back on (if you have the right tools).
