without you wanting
it to.
The spring pins are not correctly
engaged.
Engage the spring pins in the holes
at the correct height, making sure
that they audibly click into place and
noticeably protrude from the holes.
The spring pins are defective and are no
longer capable of engaging correctly.
Consult an authorised specialist
retailer.
The holes in the legs are worn, with the
result that the spring pins can no longer
engage correctly.
