3.4 Installing the Platform

Outer Arm Attachment Procedure

Use the following procedure to attach the outer arms. The procedure is the same for both plat-
form types.
NOTE: In the following steps, take care not to trap debris between the ball studs
and their sockets.
1. Attach one pair of outer arms to each inner arm.
!
As illustrated in the following figure, the outer arm assembly is most easily achieved by
pivoting the two arms away from each other lengthwise. This requires the least stretch-
ing of the spring to attach the ball joints.
a. Slip one ball joint socket over the corresponding ball stud.
b. Swing the bottom end of the outer arm pair sideways as you slip the other ball
joint socket over the corresponding ball stud.
2. Attach one pair of outer arms to each of the four pairs of ball studs on the platform.
a. Swing the bottom end of the outer arm pair to the right, as far as possible.
b. Slip the right ball joint socket over the right ball stud. Move the platform as
needed to do this.
c. Move the platform and outer arm pair to the left as you slip the left ball joint
socket over the corresponding ball stud.

CAUTION: PROPERTY DAMAGE RISK
Ensure that the ball joint socket inserts are in place in the end of each
outer arm.

Do not overstretch the outer arm springs. Separate the ball joint
sockets only enough to fit them over the ball studs.
