NOTE
The sliding side screen door may be in the open or closed
position with the outer door opened or closed as well. Should
the screen door resist opening, check to ensure nothing is
leaning against it, or has fallen between the screen door and
the step well area. Keep the sliding door track free of dust and
debris to ensure trouble free operation.
The sliding screen door also has a convenient spring loaded and
hinged access hatch at the forward bottom edge of the door� This
facilitates the attachment of a pet tether to the steel swivel ring located
at the lower right corner of the door post between the sliding side entry
door and the front passenger seat� This feature allows your pet to be
securely tethered to the coach with the screen door open or closed
(See images below) �
Never operate the power sliding door with your pet tethered, or leave
your pet unattended� Do not close the outer door with the tether
attached to the swivel ring, as this could damage the door seal or jam
the outer door� When not in use, detach and store your pet’s tether to
prevent a potential tripping hazard at the side entry door�
note
WARNING
Never operate the power sliding door with a pet secured via
a tether to the interior swivel ring. Always ensure your pet
has adequate shade and water when tethered to your coach.
Never leave your tethered pet unattended, which could lead
to possible entanglement, serious injury or death.
The rear door screen is a pull down arrangement similar in design and
operation to a typical home window shade� Simply grasp the bottom
edge of the screen assembly and gently pull it straight down until the
bottom edge is flush with the coach floor. To raise the screen back up,
pull slightly down again, and then allow the spring tensioned roller to
retract the screen� Use care not to snag any objects that might be
stored in the rear of the coach to prevent damaging the screen fabric�
Below is an image of the rear door screen in the lowered position.
Gently vacuum and wipe down the sliding side and rear door screens
with a dampened lint-free microfiber towel. Vacuum the sliding door
track as well to keep it from binding� Do not put excessive pressure
on the sliding door screen, as the screen fabric may dislodge from its
seat� A torn side door screen is easily replaceable, since the fabric
is available at most hardware stores� Your nearest American Coach
dealership can also replace a damaged screen for you�
