Take out the 4 screws and rotate the arms 180 degrees. Put a pipe clamp around them to hold them aligned better. Now you can push with one hand and you won’t bump your head.

Yeah, I got the idea when me and my wife were fooling around. Now it brings a smile to my face every time I look at it.

Granted, there are some elaborate and much more professional looking fixes, but, this takes 10 minutes and you don’t have to unhook any wires. There’s enough play in the wires that it puts nothing in a bind. The only difficult part is not dropping the nuts when you take the screws out. It was a test of my 59 year old manual dexterity and I only dropped one of the nuts twice trying to get it screwed back together.
