 After a recent spate of vandalism, Free Geek made an agreement with McGuire Bearing Company (947 SE Market Street) to park the truck behind their chain link fence every night. McGuire has a copy of the key, and brings the truck to our lot every morning around 7 AM. After 6 PM, one of the Free Geek truck drivers needs to return the truck to their lot; this is usually done by one of the warehouse staff, or the closer if they are a truck driver.

-===''Lift Gate Operation''===
+===Lift Gate Operation===
 The lift gate on the back of the truck is actually sized slightly too large for the model of truck that we have. As a result, the lift gate should only be operated while the truck is parked on a flat surface - an incline will make the gate impossible to deploy. If parking on a slope is unavoidable, there are two wooden blocks in the cab of the truck; place these under the back wheels and back carefully on top of them to provide enough room for the gate to open.
@@ Line 90: / Line 90: @@
 When riding the lift gate up, ensure that there is nothing over any of the edges of the lift - particularly the back end (closest to the truck), as the gap will close on any fingers/toes/hardware in that space and crush them most forcefully.
-===''Locking the Padlock''===
+===Locking the Padlock===
 The handle that closes the back of the truck has three loops through which a padlock can pass (A, B, C). Unfortunately, loop B is broken. It is still possible to lock the truck securely without it; to do so, make sure the back of the truck is closed and the handle completely deployed. Pass the padlock through loops A & C; loop B should sit above the padlock, but will be unable to move due to the structure of the handle.

 At no time that the truck is unlocked should it be unattended. One paid staff member must be with the truck, in sight of the back, at all times that the truck is unlocked.
