No keep them loose for the water dump feature to work. If you pull the arm down you can tighten them up then to hold awing at a angle for water to run off.

I keep mine lose so if it rains the rain water can run off, and in the wind it'll flap. I've seen some that has those tightened up and a straight awning pole, and the awning ripped off from the wind or broke from the rain water puddling up.

Actually, you can do that and tighten the awning - just pull one corner lower than the other and tighten.
Still, the Awning tie Down pole kit is the best solution - especially if you are camping for several days.

Winds blew up in Nashville last week and caught a lot of people by surprise, except the 5 forest river units with awning poles!
