Folding the Radar Arch

Hello everyone,

On a 2012 Rinker 360.  The arch is made to fold.  I've done it before with muscle power.   There must be an easier way.

Any tips from anyone?

Thank you.

    need to transport my 390, and need to fold the radar arch. never done this before, when i take the plates off there are 2 bolts and a hex bolt. do i take all of them out to lower the arch?

    On my ‘08 330 I only have the 2 nuts and washers to remove. It’s heavy, it can be done with 2 people but 3 is better. Once you pass the pivot point, it gets heavy fast! Make sure you remove the washers before you fold it.

    You can see the two studs for the nuts and washers in this pic.
