Schwintek recommends you run the slide out all the way, but it is not really a necessity. I have run mine out many times only part way with no issues. What is really important is that you hold the button for several seconds after running fully out or fully in. This is what keeps the motors in sync.
Exactly. Each motor runs independently until they meet resistance to motion. then the controller shuts each motor down. as stated, holding the button in after running full out or in is what synchronizes them.
