NOTE: To prevent damage to latching cable, a shear screw is attached to the handle. Attempts to actuate latching pins with header on ground will shear the screw on the handle. (See Extra Shear Screw Location later in this section.)

With header attached, latch pins should move freely through latch plate holes. If latch pins do not extend through the latch plates, make sure that the latching plates on the header are properly adjusted.

8. Install multi-coupler (A) onto receptacle (B) and close handle (C).
