Fiamma 45 iL

Tried for the first time to wind out / lower the Fiamma awning. Not happening. I'm reluctant to do more than about ten turns before stopping. Looking at the poles and other equipment still in sealed plastic I suspect that it's never been used.

Any ideas ? Anyyhing that should be " unsealed " before using ?

They do stick, a bang on each end does wonders. If it's anything else I can't help.

If you have a ladder to reach go up a pull at the same time as someone else is winding out. If really stuck put a pry bar with rags around it and lever lightly. (you should only wind out 1 - 2 turns before it releases

It can wait till I'm getting my aerial fitted. Me " giving it a bang " is what caused me to be christened The Wrecker as a child.

I know exactly where you’re coming from. My mother used to tell other if you ever see a hammer in Jacks had take it off him asap as he will do more harm than he will repair. 😂 that has stuck with me till this day.
