5 Latch Replacement

The latch replacement assembly is part of the small mechanical part FRU kit.

  1. The base plate of the positioner has two covers that protect the slot and base of each latch. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, remove the plastic screws that attach the slot cover to the base plate of the positioner.

  2. Remove the old latch by removing the brass screw on the bottom of the latch. The brass screw was seated with Loctite, so you must turn the screwdriver firmly to break the adhesive.

  3. Install the new latch with the latch in the unlocked position. Latch the stabilizer foot to lay in the channel as shown in Figure 3.

    1. Open the latch lever to the unlocked position (oriented 180 degrees to the lock position).

    2. The latch assembly sits on top of the curved washer, with the bottom of the latch assembly in the curved portion of the washer. Hold the latch assembly on top of the base plate.

    3. Position the latch stabilizer foot in the channel on the bottom of the positioner plate and line it up with the latch assembly.

    4. Apply Loctite 242 to the brass screw and install it through latch stabilizer foot on the base plate.

    5. Torque the brass screw to 5 inch-pounds (or snug, plus ¼ turn).

  4. Reinstall the base plate cover.
