5.2 ADJUSTMENTS
Your Ultra Vac QDS was adjusted at the factory to operate properly. However, there are
three basic adjustments that can be made, should your unit require them:
5.2.1
Door
closing:
The closing of the door is controlled by the two hinge links (Figure
15 – A) and the two stop screws (Figure 15 – B). The stop screws should be
adjusted so that both will be contacted when the contacting arm is straight up and
down. With the stop screws adjusted, the length of the hinge links can be
changed to provide complete closing of the door, and reasonable force on the
handle to latch or unlatch the door. Lengthen the links to reduce the force.
Shorten the links to increase the force. With the door closed, both links should be
slightly tight to minimize rattling.
