If so follow steps 17-21 to move) Chain side up. Fit to receiver first. Then unpin and lower chain lock on tongue. Fit third chain link from loose end to lock catch. Make sure the two free links dangle below the link being fitted. Use extreme caution. With two hands use tube to raise lock lever to past center position.
