Carefree Omega Awning Spring Assembly R00590

I left the awning in place and worked out of the bucket on my tractor. I disconnected the the side with the spring in it and removed the cover and pulled the old spring out. I reinstalled the new spring and actually used the arm from the awning to turn the spring to tension it and then reattached the cover and then the arm to the side of the RV.. When you release the tension in the spring, the cotter pin that is inserted in the holes in the awning arms are removed. The cotter pins are the ones that lock the spring tension securely while taking down the RV awning. Now that you are going to re-tension the spring, it's time to insert it back after you have reinstalled the torsion assembly.

Companion awnings shade windows and doors, and slideout covers keep dirt and debris out of the workings of an RV's sliding extensions.. Springs under tension unwind rapidly when.. Its best to de-tension the spring first, this is where the arm gives you control over the spring, unwind the spring in the opposite direction of the arrow, remember to count the number of turns make this may give you a guide to how many turns you need when tensioning the spring. 6. now tension the spring depending on your awning size starting.
