switch will extend or retract the awning.
Carefree® LONGITUDE Awnings (If So Equipped)
These awnings offer various features that make them easy and convenient to use. These
features include:
Scissor style arms that do not require vertical ground supports.
Adjustable arms that provide easy to use 6 position pitch adjustment
Roller tube and arms that are made from light weight no-rust aluminum
100% billow-proof worm gear driver motor eliminating the need for travel locks.

Adjusting the Awning Pitch
The longitude arms have 6 pitch adjustment settings from minimum pitch to maximum

reset the pitch between uses.
