15. DOORS
15.1 Apply grease to the pin hinges. With assistance, re-
install the doors onto the pin hinges. Work the doors back
and forth until the hinges are completely seated.
Specific adjustments can be made per steps 15.2 and 15.3.
Note: top of door should end up visually parallel with side of
roof. Note: the door latch is a rotary type with two positions
to close. Adjust door so that when fully closed door latch
clicks
twice
for total engagement.
15.2 Per fig. 15.2, the large striker bolt and nut can be loos-
ened and reset higher or lower or forward or back for better
engagement in the door latch assembly if necessary. Use two
3/4” open end wrenches. Note: finger guard to end up being
centered and facing inward.
15.3 Per fig. 15.3, the 1/4-20 hex head bolts on the door
hinges can be loosened on the rear tube, or on the door itself,
or in both places, in order to slightly rotate the door up or
down as necessary for proper latch assembly and striker bolt
engagement. Note: an assistant will be needed for this step.
Keep the hinge sleeves fully seated on the pin hinges.
Tighten all hinge bolts using caution to
not
over tighten.
Over tightening will crush (damage) the structural tubing.
Torque to 40 inch/pounds.
CAUTION: FOR SAFE OPERATION, DO NOT DRIVE
WITH DOORS OPEN. MAKE SURE DOORS ARE
CLOSED AND PROPERLY LATCHED WHEN DRIV-
ING.
16. LUBRICATION
16.1 Once the doors are properly adjusted, lubrication
(preferably grease) can be applied to the striker bolts and
door latch assemblies. Re-apply periodically as needed (same
goes for the door pin hinges as necessary).
