knobs have been loosened properly. After the knobs have been loosened, release
the plastic hatch for extending both the arms. This will allow you to set up
and open the rollout awning without any hindrances. Repeat the procedure for
both the awning arms. The direction lever at the top of the awning should be
changed to open. Pull the awning strap with the rod and it will automatically
fall into the right position and place. While adjusting the height of the
