Opening and closing of the door from outside
the coach is accomplished by a momentary
toggle switch located under the front R.H. side
marker light (Figure 22).
To close the door, the switch must be pushed
towards the rear of the coach and held in
position until the door has completed its
movement. The door can be closed to any
position by releasing the switch (or button, if
inside) when the desired position is attained.
However, the door is not locked in any position
other than fully closed. The door can then be
closed further by pushing or pulling on the door.
To open the door, the switch must be pushed
towards the front of the coach and held in
position. When the door reaches the fully
opened position, the system will keep pressure
in the cylinder locking the door in that position.
