manual crank awning.

I have a Carefree of Colorado Freedom iii awning that will not crank closed. It sounds like it is jumping the gears. I have searched the net but I can't find the part assembly. Is this a DYI repair. Any help would be appreciated.

    Make sure the vehicle is level when cranking in all the way as sometimes they will roll up crooked and not line up. I have, at times had my wife wife apply pressure at one end to make it line up. If out of line you can strip gear cogs with too much pressure.
