• remove the nuts, bolts, washers, and corner brackets from the top of the rear guardrail
• fold the rear guardrail down onto the platform, being careful to keep the gate latched.
4. Unlatch the side gate so the left side guardrails can be folded down in two separate pieces. Also remove
the nuts, bolts and washers opposite the gate latch on the right side guardrail so it too can be separated
