dumb question about power awnings

I have a dumb question for you all. This is our first year with a power awning. We just bought a new Gray Wolf 26BH back in Feb. and it has the power awning. Not sure of the brand name as i'm not home currently and just got to thinking about this. What happens if the motor decides to quit with the awning extended. Is there a way to get it back in? I know with slides and power tongue jacks there's a way to retract them but this is my very first experience with a power awning. Common sense tells me there is but I didn't find anything in the manual that came with it however I could have missed it I'm sure.

    Mine has a manual retract on it. Don't remember how it works but read about it in the manual.
  • Don't know.. my power awning's never failed. But I would imagine a ladder and rolling by hand would do it.
