English translation:and are unhooked [or unclipped] one by one by by using the pedals that line up with them.
Explanation:
ganchos are hooks....basculantes = pivoting or that turn in some way

pivoting hooks?

...if they are undone, they are unhooked ...desenclavar is to unhook or undoing of the ganchos which could be CLIP

so it's unclipping or unhooking..the whole thing depends on how you translate ganchos which are normally hooks...

Ok......these are Swivel Hooks or Swivel Clips...

Final: they are unhooked or unclipped one at a time by applying foot pressure to the corresponding pedal...

now, if you can see the thing, it might be: by stepping on the corresponding pedal
