Lift the awning hook to the gear operation side of the awning kit and hook the awning tool hook through the awning gear loop.
Twist the awning hook clock-wise to open/lower the awning, or counter-clock-wise to close/raise the awning.
Continue to twist the hook until the awning is (a) closed--the canvas is completely retracted and folded or rolled tight on the roller tube, or (b) open--the canvas is extended to the desired length and the shade overhangs at the desired height .
Secure the arms of the awning in the open position, locking them in place to prevent the awning from slipping or hanging loose.
