Locks and Latches
Locks and latches should be regularly checked to ensure the rubber seals are compressed correctly to maximise
protection from dust and water. The rubber seal optimum compression is 30-50%. A lack of compression will result in
poor sealing performance. Too much compression will result in the seals becoming flattened and damaged which will
greatly reduce their effectiveness.
To adjust lock pressure:
1) Loosen lock nut.
2) Adjust bolt in desired direction to loosen or tighten lock pressure.
3) Tighten lock nut.
4) Test locking for 30-50% seal compression.
Gas and Appliances
The appliance manufacturer booklet must be read before operating any gas appliance and all safety and
maintenance measures followed accordingly.
