Thanks!

The Utility arm can go into 4 positions using deployable hardstops and kickstands. Its 4 states were drive mode, Low Bar mode, Starting configuration and hang mode. The pneumatic cylinders mounted to the plates extending down at the bottom of the arm as seen on page 21. Below see the deployable hardstops.
