Re: [A/S] ZipDee
OK, yes it's loaded. After all it is half of a garage door spring.
However, if you follow that part of the directions and wind it with the
rafter arm mounted in the head it gives you more mechanical advantage
and things much are easier to control. There is more need to keep the
arm away from the side of the coach than to worry about the spring
tension. To often folks try to wind the spring with just the head or
with a short add on to the head fearing they might hit the coach using
the rafter arm. As long as one person keeps the awning tube up and away
from the coach there is plenty of room for another to wind the spring
with the rafter arm in place.
