6. Using the ladder, carefully plug in the cord to the outlet marked ``shutter".
7. Flip the leftmost switch to the left to close the lower shutter.
8. Once the lower shutter has begun closing it is safe to begin closing the upper shutter. Flip the rightmost switch to the left.
   • If you can't move the switch, reach on top of the switch, and slide the bar to the left.

9. Once the sound of the lower shutter motion changes, it is completely closed; turn off the switch.
