General Assembly
6.
Connect extension number 1 to the middle section. Slip the connection flanges into
each other and secure with the provided safety pin.
Tip:
To avoid the sections jamming or getting stuck make sure that the sections
are joined parallel. Using a small amount of lubricant also helps. We suggest
rubbing the joints with an oiled rag prior to assembly.
