Does Solera 18 Volt Awning Conversion Kit Have Lever for Extend/Retract like Dometic

Question

Question:

I am considering purchasing Lippert LC434730 replacement arms for our 2008 Four Winds RV. The end cap on our existing manual Dometic awning roller has an extend/retract switch on the driveinch side. I dont see a place in the instructions for the LC434730 that describes replacing this mechanism with the provided end caps in the Solera kit. Is there a set of instructions that includes this detail? Or, can you provide a description of this process? See image provided for the switch.

The Solera 18 conversion kit part # LC434730 that you referenced does not use that mechanism at all so you'd just need to remove that with the old caps when you go to install the Solera kit and not worry about reinstalling it or anything similar with the Solera kit.
