Q: How do I set up the Thule Omnistor awning?
Fit the crank handle to the right length and slot it into the bayonet socket, then turn it anticlockwise - keeping the handle down - to unroll the awning; it won't move for the first couple of turns. Once you've unrolled about a metre, put the support legs out before continuing. Slide the legs from the front profile, adjust them to height, and fasten them (rolling the fabric up slightly helps tension it, but don't extend the legs so high the fabric jams against the arms).
Fit the tension rafter too on larger models. If it's raining, drop one side so water runs off, and use the hold-down kit in gusty conditions - the front profile locks automatically once it's rolled back up.
