Removing the Captain's Chairs 1. Make sure that the seatback is in the upright position. 2. Lift the seatback recliner lever to fold the seatback forward. To recline the seatback, lift up on the recliner lever located on the outboard side of the seatback. Use the recliner lever to move the seatback to the desired position. It is easier to raise or lower the seatback if you lean forward and take the weight off the seatback. The seatbacks on the second row captain's chairs fold forward the same way. After raising a seatback to an upright position, push and pull on the seatback to check that it is locked upright. 3. Pull up on the lever, located at the base on the outboard side of the seat, to release the rear latches from the floor pins. 1-15
