Clearly each trike and wing will have idiosyncrasies but this will give you a 90% feel for the steps needed to set-up your trike wing and to attach your trike.
Also included (bonus!!) is a "Detach Trike and Wing Take Down" guide.

Wing Set-Up and Trike Attachment Guide
Although not something we do every day, some of us less experienced trike aviators might find this document useful to keep with our operating manual.

Re: Wing Set-Up and Trike Attachment Guide
My sincere pleasure!!
One note missing of the checklist, which you have obviously worked out having taken the wing down, is to remove the faring on the main post (pylon) BEFORE you hinge the wing forward to take it off the trike. I learnt the hard way and cracked some of the faring!
Enjoy her!
