Step 3: Assembly of the connecting arms
1. Align the hole on the end of the connecting arm (L (7) and R (8)) with the hole in the bracket for
the lower handles (L (4) and R (5)). The end of the bar should be in the bracket from the lower
handles (L (4) R (5)).
2. Fasten the parts with two hexagonal screws (71), two washers (98) and two nylon nuts (105).
3. Mount the two rails (15) on the bracket on the end of the frame (1) with two screws (77), two
washers (94) and two nylon nuts (89).
