INSTALLATION
| 1. | See Figure 3. Position the right (4) and left (3) latch levers in the unlocked position as shown in Figure 1 , upper view (Item 1). a. Pull both detent levers (3) rearward against the compression spring (8, not visible). b. Rotate the levers upward so each latch nose (4) is positioned inside the lower rear notch (9) of the side plate (6). c. Each detent pin (7) is now located in the uppermost (unlocked position) notch. d. The compression spring (8) inside the detent lever holds the latch (5) in the unlocked position. | |
| 2. | Push the sideplate front notches (10), with grommets (11) in place, firmly and evenly into the front docking points (12). | |
| 3. | See Figure 1 , lower view. Swing the rear of the backrest side plates (6) downward toward the rear docking points (13). a. As the side plates (6) move down, the latches make contact with the plastic surface of the rear docking points. | |
| 4. | As the docking points contact the latches, each latch nose (4) is forced upward. a. This causes the pin (7) to move down into the lowermost (2-locked) position on the side plate. b. The springs (8) lock each latch firmly in place around the rear docking points. c. You should hear an audible click as the latches engage the docking points. | |
| 5. | Make sure that detent pins (7) are fully seated against the side plates (6). a. If not fully seated, push detent lever (3) forward. b. If still not fully seated, docking point may need to be rotated. See Docking Hardware Kit instructions. |

REMOVAL
| 1. | See Figure 2. Pull both detent levers (3) rearward from the locked position (2), against the compression spring (8). | |
