Quick Release Fasteners
The quick release fastener removes excess play in the seat pedestal. See figure 10. The quick release fastener consists of a bolt, a lever, and a nut. See figure 11. The lever has a cam on the end that allows it to clamp into place. The quick release fastener has two states: clamped and unclamped. When the lever is open, the quick release fastener is unclamped. When the lever is closed, the quick release fas- tener is clamped.
To clamp the quick release fastener:
1.Make sure the lever is in the open position.
2.Turn the nut clockwise until it is snug.
3.Rotate the lever until it is in the fully closed position.
NOTE: If the lever will not rotate to the fully closed position, then turn the nut counterclockwise
