Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Q. My frame legs do not extend fully and pitch correctly after engaging mechanism. If a leg frame joint does not position correctly or fully extend into the set position (as demonstrated on Pg 4) , after the mechanism has been engaged, the affected leg can be positioned manually. - Page 19 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 01 Continued Q. The frame legs do not extend fully or pitch correctly after engaging the mechanism. A stubborn leg is often avoided by ensuring the following: 1. Lift the central hub as high as you can reach before engaging the upper and lower section. If the leg ends are caught, or drag along the ground during pitching, it can cause one or more legs not to extend fully into position.
