IMPORTANT: Lever (A) MUST NOT be tight in hole. For correct operation, pin (C) must be loose enough to allow spring to keep lever in locked position.

a. Remove cap screw to disconnect lever (A) from rod (B).

b. Rotate pin (C) (in or out) on rod until pin fits freely in hole and dimension at latch and weight bracket is within specification.
