BigSur -
Over an extended time, this practice might not be good. From first hand inspection of the slide rails and mechanism, I think it would be best to operate the slides when fairly level especially front to back. My reason: The slide rail has a roller wheel at the inside end and a toothed underside that rides in a cog on the outside of the I-beam. There is nothing to stabilize the rail as far as fore/aft movement or incline. It seems like they are meant to roll in/out when level, could rub or damage the sides of the cog, the internal roller, or rub the slide inside the U-shaped enclosure. I did post a couple of pictures of the rail in my (finally) last tank heater mod post.
