WARNING: When adjusting the stepwell cover clear the step-
well area of obstructions, pets or persons. Do not adjust the
stepwell cover while stepwell area is occupied.
The entry door is adjusted at the factory and tested for all operations. The
door incorporates three separate seals to eliminate wind noise during travel.
The door uses two separate locks for safety and security. One locking sys-
tem is the door handle and the other is a dead bolt. The door handle incor-
porates a primary and secondary latching system. This is used to ensure secure
and safe latching. There are adjustments which can be made to help maintain
entry door performance.
Adjusting the Entry Door Latch:
• Determine which bolt needs adjustment.
• Slowly close the entry door observing the latch and strike bolt
alignment. Do not attempt to latch if the alignment is off. If the alignment
is correct, allow the latch to catch in the first (primary) position only.
• The latch should move to the second position with just slight pressure
applied to the entry door. Upper and lower latches should be evenly timed.
Press on the entry door to see if there is any further movement of the door.
• The entry handle should operate with little effort to open the entry door.
An excessive amount of pressure indicates the bolts are set too far back.
• With a 5/8” inch box wrench or socket, loosen the movable strike bolt.
Make all adjustments in small increments. Tighten the bolt firmly after
making adjustments. The bolts should have slight up and down movement
for vibration control in travel.
• Test the operation of the dead bolt lock to ensure proper functions.
• Silicone should be applied weekly to the entry door rubber gaskets to pre
vent squeaking while the motorhome is traveling. Use a one inch sponge
paint brush, sprayed with silicone, for easy application.
CAUTION: When operating the entry door insure the dead
bolt latch is fully in the unlock position prior to closing the
entry door. Failure to do so can result in damage to the dead
bolt and/or entry door.
