swing it out of the way. (See below.)
2.
While standing beside the controls, release the
splitter beam by pulling the spring loaded frame
latch outward.
3.
At the same time, grab the cylinder end and tip
the splitter beam assembly up towards the vertical
position.
4.
Continue tipping, while placing your foot on the
frame as a brace until splitter is in the full vertical
position.
5.
Swing the locking latch around over the lock tab on
the splitter frame. Insert the lynch pin. (See right.)
