1997 holiday rambler imperial manual
Currently we're trying to figure out how to manually crank the slide out but I can't find a manual for our year model of holiday rambler imperial 5th wheel anywhere. Not even on their website where I should be able to get it. Anyone have a link or any advice on where that crank is?

Welcome to iRV2. 
Sorry you're here with problems .
I've done some work on newer HR 5th wheel slides ,on mechanisms manufactured by Lippert .
Questions .
Is your slide currently not working ?
Or are you trying to find out how to manually deploy the slide " just in case "?
If the slide is operational , can you look under at the mechanism and see if what you have looks like the picture below , a Lippert design.
If this is what you've got , I might be able to provide more help.

Slide out
We just bought it. We are to move it tomorrow. The slide out came in almost all the way then stopped about 4-6 inches out. Then when we tried to slide it back out, it wouldn't go. We topped off the fluid. We are super new to rv'ing. Someone just kind of dumped it on us and left no advice so we're learning as we go. We have been looking all day for the bolt or whatever to connect a wrench to, to manually slide it in and out for now. I can't find a manual for this 1997 holiday rambler imperial aluma lite 5th wheel so we can look at a schematic. That pic you shared is not anything like what we have. There are thick cable pullies. When we try to pump it with a handle at the hydraulic power supply it gets no pressure. We've been trying to bring it in every so often in hopes there's just air in the line.

Ok you've got a hydraulic ram system , to move the slide .
The only 5er I've worked on ; with hydraulic slides, had a re-settable circuit breaker in the battery drawer and reversing relays, mounted on the pump .
Do you see any manufacturer info on the pump and reservoir ?
Identifying the slide drive manufacturer may help with a manual for that system.

Make sure your batteries are fully charged. The pump may not be getting enough volts.

As mentioned if you didn't have it plugged into shore power or generator the batteries may be low and tripped a breaker or blew a fuse. Make sure the batteries have a good charge on them.

I just wanted to say Thank you all for your responses. We just ended up pulling it in with come along. The rv was plugged in. Maybe its the hydraulic power supply is broken. We'll assess it more once its moved. <3
