Trixie47 -
Yes, actually I have used the valves quite a bit. At the storage unit, if our neighbor pulls in too close, we might have to lock out a slide. While traveling, we have pulled into rest stops, etc., and wanted in the refrigerator for lunch, etc. I lock out the slides that are towards the roadway and only extend the one slide that is opposite the roadway.
Using the hydralics once or twice will cause the valves to be hard to turn at first. So I just put a pair of slip-joint pliers in the hydralic tray to give that initial twist and save my fingers! Remember the old addage if you use the pliers - "Righty tighty and lefty loosey". Turn the valve "right" or clockwise to tighten and seal. The valves are constructed not to come out, but I don't want to damage them.
