Storage:
To store the stair system, pull the detents out of the brackets by pulling up on the detent pins, and then
slide the bottom of the post forward in the slot (see dark arrow in diagram below). Make sure that the
jack direction selector is in the DOWN position (see FIG. 1 on p. 3). With the selector in the proper
position, either push the stairs or work the ratchet handle back and forth to incrementally raise the stairs.
With the stairs fully raised, push the post all the way forward in the slot.
