a flat, safe place where the ground is hard.

and lower it on a block so that the locking
pin (1) can be knocked out.
3. Remove the key, then check that the
bucket is stable.
4. Place a rod against the locking pin (1) and
knock the locking pin out by hammering
against the rod.
The rod should be round and thinner than
