If you find that the automatic latch on your EVO2 does not retract properly, don’t worry! This guide will help you troubleshoot the issue and provide steps to ensure your device operates safely and effectively.


Accessing the Mechanism


To begin, you will need to open the rear right cover of your EVO2. This will allow you to access the cord that controls the latch retraction mechanism. It’s essential to handle this part carefully to avoid any further damage.


Performing Calibration


Once you have access to the mechanism, the next step is to perform a calibration. This is crucial as it ensures that the end-of-travel positions for the hook are correctly set. Proper calibration will help the latch function smoothly and prevent any operational issues.


Ensuring Correct Operating Position


When performing the adjustment, make sure that the hook is fully open and pressed firmly against the upper stop. Additionally, the latch should be in the closed (hidden) position. This alignment is vital for the latch to function correctly and to avoid any misalignment that could cause the hook to not close properly.


Tensioning the Cord


After confirming the correct positions, you will need to tighten the cord connected to the latch mechanism. Secure the cord using the screw located in the bushing. This step is important to ensure that the latch retracts smoothly and operates as intended.
