On a side note, did you have to lock the awning in place when you pulled the motor, to keep it from rolling up? I've read differing accounts that say you don't need to since there isn't any spring inside, but the Dometic literature says you do.
TIA
Unroll about two turns, then stick a small screwdriver or something through the hole on the opposite end through the end cap. It can be a PITA to align it with the hole in the shaft. I think Dometic tells you to jam a cotter pin in there going from memory.
