Abstract
A manual activation system includes a bracket rotatable about a first axis between a first configuration and a second configuration and a pulley movable between an inactive position and an active position. The pulley is mounted to the bracket and is rotatable about a second axis. A tension member is wrapped about the pulley and has a tensile force acting on the pulley. An activation member is configured to cooperate with the bracket to selectively oppose the tensile force.
