or no play detected before the latching mechanism
disengages the latch bar. Excessive play can result
in the latching mechanism failing to disengage
when the handle is turned. If the latching
mechanism is not properly lined up with the latch
bracket on the pack unit, it may be difficult or
impossible to engage and lock the unit in place.
To adjust the play in the latch handle:
1. Remove the bench seat cushion and back.
See Bench Seat in this section.
