Connecting Rod Adjustment (Cam to door lever rods)
Check that the lock pawl-cam notch gap is correct with doors fully closed. This gap should be between
1/16" and 1/8". Adjust connecting rods to achieve the proper gap.
Unlock Solenoid Adjustment
Fully actuate the emergency linkage so that the lock pawl falls into, and is retained by, the emergency
cam notch. Position the unlock solenoid so that the lock pawl is released by the emergency cam when
the solenoid is energized. If LS2 bottoms out and prevents the lock pawl from moving far enough, tem -
porarily readjust LS2. With the solenoid energized, 1/8" minimum gap must exist between the lock pawl
and the major diameter of the cam. See Figure 11-24 for details. Adjust as required.
LS2 Adjustment
The LS2 switch is typically used to control the touchbar circuit on buses equipped with the touchbar
option. This switch has two separate circuits, one which is normally open and another which is normally
closed; one or both of the switch circuits will be used depending on the options installed on your bus.
Refer to the Gillig Electrical Schematics Manual for your bus for specific information on the LS2 switch
circuits. LS2 MUST be activated with the doors unlocked between the fully unlocked (solenoid ener -
gized position) and the major diameter of the cam. The LS2 switch plunger MUST NOT bottom out; you
should be able to fit a 0.016" feeler gauge between the switch and the lock pawl when the solenoid is
energized. See Figure 11-24 for details. Adjust as required.
Emergency Release Mechanism
Slowly operate the emergency release from its normal position to the fully unlocked position. Check
that the lock pawl DOES NOT bottom out LS2. If necessary, readjust the unlock solenoid as described
above.
