Slide Controls Question

We just picked up our 2955RL yesterday. It is a 2010 that has only been used 5 times and is like new inside. We're thrilled to have it but have some new Montana owner questions.
There is a control box on the outside driver side where the controls for the landing gear and rear stabilizers are located. There are also two dial controls for the two slides. What are the dials for and how do I use them?
Thanks in advance.
Brian

those are to turn off or isolate the slides from moving, in case you only wanted to move one or another instead of all of them at the same time.

There are two 'dials' in the space for my Level Up controls, that isolate or 'turn off' the corresponding slide, otherwise both operate at the same time. There might be a reason to use them but I haven't run across a reason yet.

Our 2010 has four and we use it when we overnight in parking lots since we have to put the bedroom slide out to get in the bed, but we don't want the other slides out.

Had an issue with one of the hydraulic slides squealing when brought in but couldn't determine which one it was. By turning off one, bringing it in then out and doing the same with the other side we determined the source of the problem.

Good question. Torn seal under the slide. Seals had been treated with 303. I cut off the torn piece. No leaks. Still snowbirding. Will have it replaced on our return.
