bigfoot awning

On my Bigfoot awning, in order to unroll it I must flip a switch on the top of the left arm by the reel. I then can unroll it. It is "locked" otherwise and will only roll up until I flip the switch.

Sorry Raspy, We typically get about 21 litres per 100 km or about 11 miles per gallon, I have a bit of a heavy foot though.
