INSTALLATION
Opening the Bracket
a. Take the Quick Release Bracket Assembly
(Assembly #A) and remove the Tension Screw Knob
and Lock Washer. Set the Tension Screw Knob and
the Lock Washer aside to reassemble later.
b. Slide the Top and Bottom Plates and take notice of
the range of motion allowed in the bracket, as well
as the position of the bracket when it is completely
closed. The Socket Head Cap Screw stops the
motion of the brackets when closed.
c. Slide the Plates completely apart and set the Bottom
Plate aside. The Top Plate will be installed first.
d. On the Top Plate, take note of the Padlock Slot on
the side of the Plate, near the Socket Head Cap
Screw. When the Top Plate is installed to the Base
Extrusion, the Padlock Slot should face inboard.
