the Spring Loaded Pin. You should hear it lock back into place.

using your unit. You will know the pin is locked into place when you 
can see the end protrude through the inside of the rail bracket.

the Back Crossbar. (See Fig. 1) Screw the nut back onto the

for the Rollers to function easily when the unit is folded and
rolled into place for storage.
