Zip Dee awning

[David Ward]

I'll second what Steve said about being careful with the spring. I had to replace the rear arm on mine and not having two ladders I was standing on the tailgate of my 3/4 ton Chevy. Lost just a little bit of my grip and that arm threw me off that tailgate on my backside. Nothing hurt but my ego but I was more careful when I started winding it back up.

Same as the spring, which had to come out to be checked. Was fairly easy. Does require two people and two ladders. Can be done by one person, but two makes it easier. Zip Dee has all necessary parts. A word of caution, watch the spring tension(requires so many turns) and use steel rivets(not the supplied aluminum ones). Zip Dee can tell you about how many turns, but add a couple or more.
