Figure 5. Rear View of Latch

See Figure 4. Pull the rotary latches (3) back into their rearmost position as shown in center view of Figure 4. Position the rear rotary latches over the rear docking points (4), making certain the latches and rack fit into the neck of the rear docking points as shown in the bottom view of Figure 4. This may require some gentle squeezing or spreading of the rack.

Push downward and close the rotary latches (5) by pressing the latch lever as far forward as it will go as shown in the lower view of Figure 4. You will hear a click when the latch is in place. If the latch does not easily close, do not force. Recheck alignment as described in Step 2 and Figures 2 and 3.

NOTE

After installing solo rack, pull upward to be sure it is locked into place.

To remove the solo rack, press the release button shown in the diagram and pull the rotary latch lever back. Carefully lift the rear of the solo rack up and pull the solo rack out of the front docking points.
