OPERATION
The keyed locking mechanism in the handle
prevents unauthorized unlatching of the pack unit
for removal. When unlocked, turning the handle
pulls on the threaded rods and turnbuckle to
release the latch. Pushing the latch bracket on the
pack unit into the latch mechanism causes it to
close.
