the gate link frame and loosely reinstall the
nut.
B.
Loosen the nut on the left adjustment slot
of the gate link frame.

Rotate the latch downward to lock the assembly
in this position (reference Figure 4). Adjust the
tension on the latch to hold the assembly up to
the deck, yet allow for release by hand. Tension
