Putting the Schwintek In-Wall slide's controller into Emergency Override, deletes all of the safety features of the controller. This can allow the slide to cock, wedge, jam or to burnout a motor. It should be used only an emergency when the slide cannot be moved into the travel position. The slide should not be put out again until the cause of the slide's problem is corrected.
I like to use the "Rapid Camp" remote to put the slides out. Since we travel with cats, it is best to make sure the slide clear of obstructions including the cats and cat toys are sequestered in the bathroom. It is not uncommon to find a "rattle mouse" under the slide. Next, I go outside and make sure the topper is clear. I have had the topper unfurl when traveling. When the spring retracts the topper, it will bend the brackets and jam the topper against the slide. As the slide opens, I stand to the side and listen for any unusual noises or the motor struggling. I do the same when retracting retracting the slides. As has been said, hold down the slide's movement button for about 5 seconds after the slide is completely out or in. This stalls the motors and the controller re-syncs after the motors have stalled for one to two second.

I wipe the seals down with 303 twice a year and lubricate the gib and shoe with PFTE twice a year.
