I read this in my manual before, seems like overkill. I wonder what's worse on the components, sitting still for a week or two or the wear and tear of opening and closing the slide.

Edit: now if "actuated" just means hitting the switch for a second and then back, I can understand assuring that it doesn't get stuck.
The only problem with that is that it is recommended to complete the action to the stop and then reverse it. Running out a little and then back in is not suggested or recommended. Just something to consider.

My opinion and so far my experience, but if adjusted and maintained as per the manufacturer's manual, there shouldn't be any abnormal wear.
