graB HanDle
The grab handle is used to aid in entering and
exiting the motorhome.
WARNING
Clean the acrylic grab handle
using mild Soap and Water
only! Do Not use alcohol
based glass cleaners as these
solutions adversely affect acrylic
material causing stress cracks
leading to eventual failure of
the grab handle. Use of alcohol
based cleaners combined with
heat and light will expedite
deterioration of the acrylic
material.
entry Door
The entry door is adjusted at the factory and
tested for all operations.
The door uses two
separate locks for safety
and security. One locking
system is the door lock and
the other is a dead bolt. The
door handle incorporates
a primary and secondary
latching system. This is used to ensure safe
latching. There are adjustments which can be
made to help maintain entry door performance.
Latch Adjustments
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.
The entry handle should operate with
little effort to open the entry door. Excess
pressure indicates the bolts are set too far
back.




With a 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.
Apply silicone weekly to the entry door
rubber gaskets to prevent squeaking
while the motorhome is in use. Use a 1”
sponge paint brush, sprayed with silicone
for easy application.
CAUTION
When operating the entry door, ensure
the dead bolt latch is fully unlocked
prior to closing. Failure to do so can
result in damage to the dead bolt and/or
entry door.
Screen Door
Changing Screen Door Glass:
The screen slider is Tuffak; the slider can
be bowed for removal and replacement.
Replace with new Tuffak and reverse the
procedure.
Adjusting the Screen Door:
Loosen the fasteners on the hinge side of
the screen door; two on the top and two
on the bottom.
The steel hinge has slots to allow
movement.
