Three things to try. First, if you are tall enough, stand under the awning and push up and out on the end of the rolled up awning. If not, when you pull out on the pole, lift up on the arm at the joint. If you pull downward at all, it binds up the sliding joint. Finally, Zip Dee sells some clamp on handles that give you a better angle and grip on the arms.
Also, periodically clean the arms of grit and corrosion. i extend them all the way and rub them with a scotchbrite pad sprayed with silicone lubricant.
