Installing the Gas Spring Pin

The gas assist lift mechanism in this unit is under high spring pressure when the motor is in the deployed position. Do not
remove the Bowguard from the mount without disconnecting one end of the gas spring. Failure to do this can create a condition
where accidental pulling of the Pull Grip and Rope may cause the mount to spring open rapidly, striking anyone or anything in the
direct path.

a. Position the motor to the stowed position with the
Pull Grip and Rope to disengage the latch bar,
allowing the motor to fold into a flat position.
b. Once in the stowed or flat position, the Gas Spring
Pin and Spacers can be installed.
