The left and right air intake parts supplied with this stage will not be used until the
next assembly session, so store them safely until then. To begin this session, first
remove the two black screws indicated by the orange arrows, and place them safely to one
side. Then pull the front shock absorbers upwards, in the direction of the red arrows, to free
them from the silver-coloured ball-headed screws.

components to one side.
