Step 1

In this given molecule Ring flipping takes place.

It is a interconversion of cyclic conformersi.e, chair form (cyclohexane)

After ring flipping substituents attach to carbon 1 are moves one place forward and take a position on carbon 2. & So on 

In simple words substituents attached carbon is shift & take a position of next carbon.

After ring flipping , substituent which is present in axial position is changed into equitorial position & vice versa. But the direction or stereo is retained.it means before flipping OH is in equitorial  position & it's direction is upward (wedge), But after flipping , it convert into axial position with upward direction (wedge).
