not roll.

3. While another person lifts up slightly on the upper
handle bars, release the strut from the locking tabs
by pulling on the cable connecting the two locking
pins (fig. 3-17).

comes to rest in the full upright position. The Tilt
Back Frame should be raised off of the ground at
this point.
