pressure to the centre of the locking bar with your foot (see fig.1A) to release the locking mechanism and continue to raise the handle.
As the handle reaches the vertical position it will snap into the locked position. (See fig.2)

the stem of the foot pedal into the socket in the end of the connecting rod situated just below the locking bar. (See fig.2A) Place one
plain washer onto the bolt, then align the holes through the socket with the hole in the pedal and screw the bolt through both items
and tighten. Place the other plain washer and the spring washer onto the bolt followed by the nut, and tighten.
