Default Power Carefree Awning Hard to Angle Adjust

The 2 metal pins you push in do not seem to be going in far enough. I release pressure pulling the arm down, push in the pins but it does not lower. This is both sides.

Like it is stuck. Nothing obvious jammed anywhere.

Do you have the manual on this awning...sounds like you are doing everything right but review this document.

I had the same problem on my 2021 199dd...I just lubricated the part that is suppose to slide in and out and forced it to move. The first couple of times I tried I thought it wasn't suppose to move...but eventually it did. After that...it moves easily now.

Thanks for the link Chuck v... I read over it and it seemed like I could not push the "silver" buttons in far enough.

green plaid, I put some dry lube on the area and it works like a charm now. I had already lubed up the rest of the awning, for some reason I did not do that area.

Thank you all!
