With the rod of the power cylinder pushed fully inward, hold the frame with blade end pointing
upward, as shown in Figure #53.
Grasp the spring at the loop end and push the straight end into the pocket in the frame at an angle
coming from the right of the finger loop post.
FIGURE #53
Care should be taken to guide the spring such that the straight end goes behind the rear spring pin,
as shown in Figure #53 above. When correctly installed, the spring will fit loosely in the position
shown above.
If the finger loop is difficult to engage with spring, it may mean that the spring is not installed
correctly (see Figure #53).
