Maintaining the Doors
Before each trip, inspect the door operations to ensure they are working properly. The following
are items that need to be frequently inspected to ensure the doors remain in good working order.
Manual Door Operations
– Inspect daily the door mechanism for loose or damaged parts.
Open and close to see that the door is moving smoothly, closes properly and the door mechanism
(handle) latches properly when closed. Repair, replace or adjust as necessary.
Electric Door Operations
– Inspect daily to ensure the door power mechanisms are working
properly. Open and close the door using the console switch and then again using the exterior key
switch, if so equipped. If door is not operating properly have adjusted or repaired as necessary.

) – Inspect daily to ensure that door opens manually
when red handle is released, then secure handle and check interior and exterior switch operation.
