locking device for the securing pin has engaged. Screw the other
securing pin on to the tool.
Open the rear canopy. Push in the left wing. Mount and check the left
securing pin by the same method as the right side. Push in the two main
pins as far as possible. Place the handles horizontal or upright. Release
the wings. Finally screw in the securing screws in the main pins. When
the screws are fastened press the handles of the screws into the clips at
