Look at the arms of your awing and you will see a tag that indicates what adjustments can be made to the arms so the auto-tip feature works. You will notice 2 of those gas cylenders on the arms. When set propertly, based on those tags, when the awing gets loaded with rain, it will over come one of the cylinders and that arm will lower and dump the water off the awning. It really works, I have seen it in action during a very heavy rain storm in Michigan last year. Pay attention to the tags on the arms and you will be OK.
