If your slider is equipped with an air release pin
mechanism, pull the air release control valve knob
to disengage the lock pins.

.
When lock pins have properly disengaged, proceed to
Step 6.
If lock pins fail to disengage, proceed to Step 5.
5. If the QWIK RELEASE
®
pull handle is in the notch 2
position but the lock pins fail to retract and are still
in the engaged position, the QWIK RELEASE

pull
arm is in an armed, ready to unlock position.
