Release the retaining straps and clips from both the outer A-frame legs and using the
ladder, lower the outer A-frame platforms so that they rest on their location brackets.
Remove the platform safety rails from their stowage locations. Extend the access ladders
and adjust the stile extensions on the ends of the ladders to account for any ground
variations. Unfold the two walkway extension pieces and position and pin the safety rails
in the two location holes in the folding walkways.
