Lowering the Tower. 

loosen the rear tower hinges about 1/4 turn. the front tower hinges need to be disconnected 

with the help of an Allen key to allow the tower to fold back.

once the tower is folded back, remove the 2 Allen bolts from the top section hinge which will 

allow the arms to fold down for storage.

STEP 14 - LOCKING ThE ROTATING FITTINGS
