Lockout mechanism

If the lockout mechanism is pivoted out, the bolt tongue cannot be extended. The lockout mechanism can be secured with
padlocks (see Figure 6). This is intended to prevent people from being locked in unintentionally. The lockout mechanism
does not fulfill any safety function.
To pivot out, press the grooved part (possible only with bolt tongue retracted).
