72–01 Door Seals Lubrication
NOTE: The main entry door, rear emergency
exit, and emergency hatch seals require lubrica-
tion. Do
not lubricate the door latches or hinges.
They come from the manufacturer with lifetime
lubrication and do not require maintenance.
Lightly coat the door seals with a lubricant that is
safe for rubber (as recommended by the lubricant
manufacturer).
