   A - Latch Pin

   B - Latch Plate

   C - Bracket

   D - Clearance

   E - Top of Plate

   F - Cap Screws

   Latch pins (A) should move freely through latch plate holes in header when multi-coupler is latched. Latch plate (B) must make contact with bracket (C). Less clearance (D) should be maintained between bottom of plate and pin rather than top of plate (E) and pin. This may require latch plate to be flipped.

   If adjustment is needed: Remove cap screws (F), flip latch plate (B) end for end, reinstall, and tighten cap screws to specifications:
