16. Place the latch lock lever through the slot in the
tongue. Insert the 5/16" x 4" hex bolt (A) through one
side of the tongue. Assemble a (SEMS) hex nut (G),
the lever and another (SEMS) hex nut (G) onto the
hex bolt. Insert the hex bolt through the opposite side

bolt can still rotate freely. Tighten the two (SEMS) hex
nuts (G) against each side of the latch lock lever so
that it is centered in the slot. See figure 8.
