361 lev slide out

Does anybody know what type of slide out (all electric or hydraulic with motor)
On a 361 lev raptor. The one I'm concerned about is the where the couch & table are on. There is a manual override hex nut under the main door entry. Anything else I have to do beside turning it the right way.

My 361 is all electric. I have read that it is a good thing to disconnect the electric motor so as not to damage it while turning without power. I have not verifed that with Keystone nor do I know how to do it. On my last 5er I used the manual crank for the front landing gear when my battery went dead and it did not damage anything.

The main reason to disconnect it is to make sure the motor doesn't start running while you have the crank handle connected. Imagine a "bound up" slide, you keep pushing the switch, slide won't move, then find, after you insert the crank and give it half a twist that the motor starts running and the crank rips out of your hand and cracks your knuckles (or worse). Best to disconnect the motor before trying to crank it by hand.

The slide motor is a 12VDC motor so you'll need to disconnect the shore power AND also disconnect the battery if you're trying to remove input power to the slide motor... Much easier to reach in and unplug the motor or disconnect the 12VDC input wires at the motor.
