Title: 02 zip dee big awning
Post by: Dan Stansel on November 24, 2014, 09:54:14 am
Without callin zipdee and coach in storage can anyone tell me where you can turn off the auto high wind retract on this awning?? ::) Understand you are not suppose to tie these down.  Ok but I wish to hang lights.  At what wind speed will these things retract anyway? ::) This is the 02 with the arms.  has been working great, so plan to use more. Tks DAN

I got no reponse to my questions so here goes again.  I am thinking there has to be a switch for the auto retract somewhere and the most likely place is inside the control box but where?? ::)

I have NO clue if you can turn it off ... ours was broken when we bought the coach and I am not getting it repaired.  I would never tie the awning down. As you correctly said that is not advised. I think that calling ZipDee is that only way to get good advice.

There is a switch in the gray box in the bay that turns it off if it is like ours

OK Tks ;D With that off I plan to place lights on it for evening use.  I know many of you with the manual units do the same but I have not done it due to a possible retraction.  DAn
