Doors removal and installation
Starting S/N 1066 or retrofitted with SB14-005, doors have self-locking
hinges, requiring no pin:
Door removal:
1. Open the door,
2. Remove the small circular locking clip from gas spring attachment
on the fuselage side. Snap the rod end off,
3. Open the door passed the normal opening to free the locking
tongue. Slide off.
Caution
: Always put your hand between the door and the frame next to the
lower hinge to prevent scratching the windshield post paint.
Door installation:
1. Position the door wide open,
2. Engage the lower pin which is longer, then engage the upper pin,
3. Snap the gas spring rod end on its sphere, and install the small
locking pin in the rod end.
For initial design, without self-locking hinges, the procedure is as follows:
Door removal:
1. Open the door,
2. Remove the small circular locking clip from gas spring attachment
on the fuselage side. Snap the rod end off,
3. Remove the two hinges lock pins, and save the washers,
4. Slide the door off.
Door installation:
1. Install the door, and check the plastic bushings are in place,
2. Install one washer and one lock pin on each hinge.
Note
: The lower hinge has its plastic bushing inverted, to take the upward
thrust from the gas spring. The washer is then important.
3. Snap the gas spring rod end on its sphere, and install the small
locking pin in the rod end.
Caution:
Never install the gas spring without the hinge pins: the gas spring
exerts an upward force that would eject the door.
The gas spring should be installed in the right direction: rod facing
inside/forward, body on the door side.
