Holiday Neptune 2004, Owner'S Manual

Page: 199 / 416

The entry door is adjusted at the factory and tested for all operations. The door
incorporates three separate seals to eliminate wind noise during travel. The door
uses two separate locks for safety and security. One locking system is the door
handle and the other is a dead bolt. The door handle incorporates a primary and
secondary latching system to ensure secure and safe latching. Adjustments can be
made to help maintain entry door performance.
Adjusting the Entry Door Latch:
• Determine which bolt needs adjustment.
• Slowly close the entry door observing the latch and strike bolt
alignment. Do not attempt to latch if the alignment is off. If the
alignment is correct, allow the latch to catch in the first (primary)
position only.
• The latch should move to the second position with only slight
pressure applied to the entry door. Upper and lower latches should be
evenly timed. Press on the entry door to check for further movement
of the door.
• The entry handle should operate with little effort to open the entry
door. Excessive pressure indicates the bolts are set too far back.
• With a 5/8" inch box wrench or socket, loosen the movable strike bolt.
Make all adjustments in small increments. Tighten the bolt firmly
after making adjustments. The bolts should have slight up and down
movement for vibration control in travel.
• Test the operation of the dead bolt lock to ensure proper functions.
LUBE: Apply silicone weekly to the entry door rubber gaskets to
prevent squeaking while the motorhome is traveling. Use a one-
inch sponge or paintbrush, sprayed with silicone for easy application.
CAUTION: When operating the entry door ensure the dead bolt
latch is fully in the unlock position prior to closing the entry door.
Failure to do so can result in damage to the dead bolt and/or entry
door.
