Dual-direction Lid
A special feature of the Weekender is the ability to
change the direction in which the lid opens.
The most common configuration is the front-opening
direction (shown).
If the application prevents the lid from opening fully or
the refrigerator is installed longways into a vehicle, it
may be advantageous to use the side-opening
configuration.
The Weekender is supplied in the front-opening
configuration. In order to change the lid direction,
follow these steps :
1. Close the lid. Remove both front latches and lid
handles.
2. Re-fit one of the latches and lid handles to the
alternative latch positions on the side of
the refrigerator. (Keep the spare parts safe)
3. Remove all three hinges from the rear of the
refrigerator. Also remove the hinge cover plates
from the alternative hinge locations.
4. Re-fit two of the hinges on the side of the
refrigerator.
5. Align the lid and ensure that it closes fully before
tightening the screws.
6. Keep the spare hinge and screws in a safe place.
The Weekender will now be in the side-opening
configuration.
Tip
- The optional Weekender protection
jacket has a side pocket which is ideal for
keeping the spare hinge and latch parts.
Three hinge cover plates are supplied
(2 fitted) with the Weekender for covering
the unused hinge holes.
