Trimmer troubles connecting to back brace

Any special trick to this? For the life of me I have spent the last hour just trying to get the trimmer to connect to the back brace. Can’t get the two rods to slide down the two slots. Any help would be appreciated.

Im a dummy. Im one of those that follows the instructions verbatim. For another peep that might get stuck like I did, the key is to not install the hitch. I know dumb but hey. :slight_smile:

Glad to see you were able to successfully install the trimmer! And thanks for sharing the tip as well :blush:
