Fleet Shower Model Assembly Instructions
STEP 17. DOOR TRIM PANEL, SPRING CLOSURE AND SLIDE LATCH
ASSEMBLY (cont.):
Apply the "In-use/Open" decal to the slide latch. There is a punched 1/4"
diameter hole in the decal. Align this to the corresponding hole in the slide
latch. This hole is to comply with certain codes that requires portable
restrooms to be unlocked from the outside in the event that a person, such
as a child or someone in distress, is not able to unlock the door from the
inside. It's also used as a convenient way to lock the door during transport.
Insert the slide latch into the square cut hole of the door with the in-use and
open decal towards the outside surface of the door. Turn the key to the
neutral position & remove the key. Place the latch cover plate over the slide
latch and line up the holes of the cover with the holes in the door.
NOTE:
The U-shaped, black handle on the latch cover plate is used to prevent
persons from inadvertently moving the slide latch to the In-use position
when leaving
the shower room.
Insert 1 3/4" self-tapping spanner screws,
PC-000162, in each of the four holes and tighten using the spanner
screwdriver bit, PT1-0004, provided with this instruction kit.
Note: the
screws should be tightened to the point where they interfere with the sliding
action of the latch and then backed off slightly.
The slide latch should be
able to move to the in-use and open positions easily but with enough friction
to prevent the slide latch from sliding into the in-use position when the self-
closing door shuts.
STEP 18. DOOR SPRING CLOSURE CABLE AND CLIP OPERATION:
Connect the cable to the clip by gripping the ball end of the cable with pliers
and pulling the cable out approximately 5”. Hold the cable in place by
clamping the cable with a sheet metal vise-grip as close to the door as
possible. Enter the unit and close the door. With a pair of pliers, grip the ball
end of the cable slightly behind the ball and insert the ball into the cable clip
slot. Release the vise-grips.
Assembly of the Fleet shower room is complete.
