1. The “L” rod can be found in the upper left corner
of the unit in the access compartment. Look
through the access compartment to make sure
the rod lines up with the anti-tip bracket.
2. There are two washers and a hair pin cotter with
the rod. Remove the washers and hair pin cotter
from the end of the rod.
