18. Perform the following steps in sequence to assure secure
locking of the lift handle. Refer to figure 12.
a. Turn the aerator upright, then place the lift handle
into the transport locking notch at the front end of
the slot in the tray.
b. Stand on the right side of the aerator and push
against the tray, which will force the lift handle over
to the right side of the notch.
c. Keep the tray and lift handle in this alignment and
tighten the eight bolts at the corners of the tray.
d. Tighten the two bolts which fasten the middle brace
to the tray.
e. After performing these steps, some effort should
be required to shift the lift handle from the transport
locking notch over into the slot to lower the aerator.
When the aerator is raised, the lift handle should
spring back over into the transport locking notch.
