FIGURE 7.1 Replacing Release Handle

Adjusting Cable Assembly Tension

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 7.2.

NOTE: Activation of the recline mechanism depends on proper tension of the cable assembly. Proper tension is defined as the release handle having some resistance when squeezed and firmly held in place when not activated.

NOTE: If the tension of the cable assembly is:

•Too loose (too much play in release handle) ‐ The recline mechanism will not be activated when the release handle is squeezed.

•Too tight (release handle needs more play) ‐ The release handle will be difficult to squeeze.
