properly, or if the winch cables are worn or damaged.
3. Continue to rotate the winch handle and lift the tower to the vertical position until
the vertical tower locking pin (p) locks the tower in place. Be certain the vertical
tower locking pin is fully engaged in the locking position before raising the tower.
