FRONT PIN LOCK LATCH — The three-position latch that holds and
releases the front pin lock assembly. Pulling back the front pin lock assembly
to the UP position automatically engages the latch in the UP position or
allows the latch to be manually engaged to the DOWN position. The latch is
held in the UP or DOWN position by the latch pin and the force of a return
spring. When the latch is moved off the latch pin, either by contact from the
bay during loading or by the operator as necessary prior to unloading the bay,
the front pin lock assembly is returned to the UP position automatically.
