trailer and latch against the side of the
trailer, again using the spring-loaded

i. For the Ramp handle/
latch on the side
of the side hinging
release bolt, move the
safety spring so that
the handle can rotate
and move the handle
towards the outside of
the trailer a full 180

ii. Pull the side hinging release bolt to
release the door and pull it up into the
notch (this notch will not hold the bolt in
place, it is there to help ergonomically).
