Step 5a: The height of the latches, which is adjustable, 
controls the tightness of the latches. The following 
procedures have been shown to achieve an acceptable level 
of tightness.  Install the latches using the hex bolts, 
washers, and nuts as shown on the right.  Tighten the nuts 
to the bolts by hand only and then back off the nut by a 
quarter turn so that the latches can slide freely on the 
container.  DO NOT tighten the bolts and nuts yet; you will 
tighten them in step 5b below.

Step 5b: Place the container on a table or floor as shown below. Allow the latch body to slide down to its 
lowest position by gravity.  Push the latch arm against the container.  Make sure that latch arm is in contact 
with the edge and bottom of the container and the floor or table as shown.  Tighten the bolts with your 
hand to temporarily secure the latches.  Finally, tighten the bolts and nuts with 10mm wrenches.
