Yes that is the tension adjusting nut. One rail has two and the other rail has one.
Tighten'er up and see what happens. Lance told me this is a regular maintenance procedure.
You can go to happijac.com and click on products, then on slideouts to get an idea of how the slide works. The current slide uses travel limit switches to control the extend/retract travel. My camper uses a current sensing (auto reset circuit breaker) device to stop the travel when it is fully extended or retracted. Basically the motor stalls, the amps go up to breaker trip point and the slide stops. I think this puts undue stress on the exterior wall and the slide itself. I stop the slide when I see the seals are seated on the wall.
Good luck with your adjusting.
