Can’t find the port to attach manual crank. Micro Minnie 2019, 2108DS. SOME SAY IT SHOULD BE OPPOSITE SLIDE, In big frame. Help, please.
On through frame slide actuators, the manual operating shaft may or may not extend fully through the frame from the gearbox. Some have a short extension with a hex head that allows the slide to be operated with a socket and ratchet. Others have an adapter with a length of shaft attached that extends through the frame and can be accessed with a crank handle without having to get under the trailer.
When slide is out, locate the actuator (round tube that goes back into the frame. The manual operator "port" is on the end farthest away from the slide itself.
On mine it's hidden behind the folding stairs. - wanderingbobExplorer IIOn my 2016 2108 the crank is under the sofa at the motor , pre-covid might be different !
- LwiddisExplorer IIHope that helps.
- LwiddisExplorer IIOn my 2015 2101DS…”MANUAL OPENING/CLOSING SLIDEOUTS. Access to the manual drive shaft for flush floor and nonflush floor slides is located on opposite side of slideroom between skirt metal and main rail of frame. To operate manual drive, a 3/4 inch socket is required.” I agree with SOME SAY.
