STEP 20: (DOORS)
20.1
Start out by applying grease to the hinge pins,
reinstall all (4) door hinge washers per fig. 20.1.
Reinstall the doors into their respective hinge sleeves
located on the sideframes. See fig. 20.2c.
Note: Holding the door perpendicular to the sideframe
will ease installation. If hinge pins do not initially bottom
out, rotate the door back and forth until hinges are
seated properly.

The doors should
“

”
for full
engagement and proper closure. If necessary, make
the following adjustments in this order:
•
Adjust the striker pin on the sideframe vertically
-
See fig. 20.2a
•
Adjust the latch located inside the door horizontally
-
See fig. 20.2b
•
Adjust the hinges located at the rear of the door

See fig. 20.2c
Note: The quickest, most common solution is to adjust

20.3
Install the door gas shocks oriented so that the
piston rod is pointing downhill (toward door) for best,
continuous seal lubrication and longest gas shock life.
See fig 20.3.

Once the doors are properly adjusted, lubrication
(preferably grease) can be applied to the door striker
pins and door latch assemblies.
