Note: Slowly unwind spring tension by allowing the spring to unwind counter clockwise. Torsion will want to unwind by itself. Caution should be taken to prevent rapid unwind.

Dometic Black Torsion Crank Assembly Kit
Tool makes preloading the torsion springs on the awning very easy.
Review byJimmyMac
The tool is very solid and you get 3 different ends that will adapt to the kind of awning you have. It worked very easily, but even at half what I paid I would still consider it quite expensive for what you get. It is not a precision tool, just a hand crank.

Why is the tool aluminum?
Review byjoebuck
When I used this to adjust my torsion bar on my Dometic awning of only 12 feet wide, the crank arm actually started to bend. I couldn't believe it until I realized the crank is nothing more than aluminum. Why wouldn't they make it out of steel I asked myself? This can make for a very, very dangerous situation if the crank were to break away.
I got all the correct directions from Dometic before I started to adjust the torsion bar; so my adjustments were to their spec's.
I would not lend this crank handle to anyone for I'm worried they would hurt themselves not knowing that the crank will start bending.
