3. Adjust switch striker plate on cylinder rod so that is does not bind against the switch and switch

bracket in the closed position.

4. Insure that the roller bracket is installed square on the rear door panel.
5. Insure that the center hinge barrel is not binding against the outer skin of the rear door panel.
6. Adjust opening and closing speed of the door at valves located on cylinder to insure smooth action.

Air pressure should be at normal operating range (100-125 psi).

7. Upper pivot bracket retaining screw at lever assembly should be tightened to at least 20 ft. lbs.

Maintenance procedures for entrance doors are to be performed at intervals of 1 month or 1000 miles,

whichever occurs first.

ELECTRIC OUTWARD OPENING DOOR

The electrically operated outward opening door has a linear actuator that moves a lever attached to the

front door. To open the door, hold the spring loaded switch in the driver's area in the "open" position until the
door stops moving. An automatic switch stops the action of the door. To close the door move the switch to
the "close" position and the door will stop automatically when fully closed. There is a keyed switch on the
outside of the body on the cowl panel by the door that parallels the operation of the interior switch.

Emergency Release

With the door in the fully closed

position, pull the release lever in the
header panel rearward as far as pos-
sible. You will feel the linkage release
and then feel the lever snap into a
"park" position so it will not return
forward when released. Push the door
open to exit the bus. To reengage the
release mechanism, move the lever in
the header back to it's forward posi-
tion, and hold the driver operated
spring loaded switch in the "open" po-
sition until engagement is obvious or
until door is in fully open position.

SECURITY LOCK (Outward Opening Door)

A key operated "bolt" slides into a hole

in the header when the door is in the closed
position and locked. This option also re-
quires use of the hinged stop on the door
control. If the lock becomes difficult to op-
erate, remove access plate on the inner door
panel and channel and lubricate with No. 2
lithium grease. (Access plate shown re-
moved in illustration.)

EMERGENCY RELEASE

TO OPEN DOOR, MOVE LEVER COMPLETELY TO THE "OPEN" POSITION, PUSH
DOOR OPEN. TO RE-ENGAGE ELECTRIC ACTUATOR, MOVE LEVER TO THE "CLOSE"
POSITION AND CYCLE DOOR FULLY OPEN WITH THE POWER DOOR SWITCH.
