Preparation and Setup
Locking System
The CF500 and CF600 have a locking system that auto-
matically locks the wing sections during folding and trans-
port. For proper folding, the boom-lock cable must be tight
enough that the lock arms (1) just clear their stops when
unfolded (2) and rest secure against the stop when folded
(3).
Figure 2-3
Lock Arms
To adjust the tension on the boom-lock cable, loosen jam
nut and turn clevis. See Figure 2-4.
