DOOR ADJUSTMENTS
Doors can be adjusted for alignment or clear­
ance in the cab door opening (fig. 6), and for proper
latching. Door alignment adjustments are made at
the striker bolt, and at door hinges. Rubber seal
around door should be lubricated with silicone

lubricant and door vent window should be open be­
fore opening and closing door while making door
adjustment. If door has been replaced, adjustments
should be made in sequence described in the fol­
lowing paragraphs:
Before adjusting hinges, always remove the
striker bolt from the cab pillar.
N O T E : Horizontal slotted cap screw holes in
door half of hinge provide the "in" and "out” ad­
justment of door. See figure 5.
The fore and aft adjustment of door is pro­
vided by the removal or installation of shims in­
serted between door and hinge strap (fig. 5).
The door, when properly located in door open­
ing, will have equal clearance around its perimeter.

or installation of shim at only one of the hinges
may be necessary.
