Hydraulic slide bypass

My 3730 Monty has three switches on the convenience panel to bypass the extension of 3 hydraulic slides. How does this work? I tried turning them off individually and extending slides, but didn't notice any difference. All slides extended as normal.

Also, which slides on the 3730 are hydraulic and which are electric?

Thank you!

the switches are actually valves. you need to make sure you turn them far enough. I had the same issue until I figured it out.

On our old rig you actually had to turn the knob past off a little ways to release pressure in the line and then they worked. Every slide you have a valve for is hydraulic.

I have tried turning the valves off again with no result. All slides open even with valves in the off position (I turned them as far as possible)

That level up system is a standard unit and if you have electric slides it will not do anything.
