Explanation from the dealer, In or out, any slack left in the cable after the slide stops can tighten to the point where it stresses and can eventually pulls the cables out of the slot in the slide. I notice with ours, when the bed mattress touches the cabinet, the motor basically stops. Same going out and slide is open. But I can still hit the switch and get more movement out of the cables. So I am careful about that.
