To add to Chris's and Pauls comments,
Your slide(s) are powered by HWH Hydraulic rams. As are your jacks. When you push the toggle for "Extend", the pump goes into action and, powers up the manifold and, certain solenoids, that lead to those rams, that extend the slides. When you push the toggle for "Retract", the same system jumps into action only, it's in reverse, bring the slide IN instead of out.
Now, in the event that for some reason, your pump fails, or you blow a hydraulic line or fitting, and your slide is OUT, it may need to be retracted MANUALLY. In order to do that, you'll have to get out your trusty wrench or, socket or, whatever you plan on using and, get ready to crank on those bolt heads for quite a while. But, normally, since you'll be manually forcing fluid back into the reservoir, you need to release a valve, on one of the solenoids in the manifold so the fluid can cruise on by and, go back into the reservoir.
I've never had to do it but, I understand that, manually cranking one of those slides back in by hand is a serious chore and, ultra time consuming. So, if it happens, don't be in a hurry, 'cause you ain't going anywhere, anytime soon.
