How Many Times Does The Roller Tube Of A Solera Awning Need To Be Rolled For Proper Tension

Question

Question:

I got a Lippert slid cover from yall. The topper is great. I messed up on installation. I did not pull the Carter pins when I opened my slid after installation. It sheared barrel pins in the arms. I have removed the sheared pins and installed new. I want to finish the install but I need to know how many turns for tension do I put on the slid arms for it to work properly? Thanks
