Outer Arm Attachment Procedure
Use the following procedure to attach the outer arms. The procedure is the same for all 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.
