NOTE

Test is for one side of ramp lock adjustment. Adjust both sides of carrier at the same time.

Have helper assist.

NOTE

Some carriers are equipped with flat shaped ramp lock rods, while other carriers are equipped

with hex shaped ramp lock rods. Adjustment is different, as described below.

7.

To adjust rear latches (1), loosen two screws (2) that secure bracket (3) to hull top plate.

8.

For carriers with flat shaped rod (4), turn clevis (5) on rod, as needed, to lengthen or shorten linkage.

NOTE

Making linkage shorter pulls the ramp in and puts a tight squeeze on the ramp seal. Making

linkage longer lessens the squeeze on the seal.

9.

For carriers with hex shaped rod (6), bend back tabs on washer (7), loosen jamnut (8), remove rod from clevis (9), and

discard washer. Install new washer (7), and install rod in clevis (9). Place link (10) in clevis (5). Secure with headed

pin (11) and new cotter pin (12). Turn rod as needed to lengthen or shorten linkage. Tighten jamnut (8) and secure by

bending tabs of new washer (7).
