Dual-direction Lid
A special feature of the Weekender is the ability to change the
direction in which the lid opens.
The most common configuration is the front-opening direction
(shown).
If the application prevents the lid from opening fully or the
refrigerator is installed long ways into a vehicle, is may be
advantageous to use the side-opening configuration.
The Weekender is supplied in the front-opening configuration.
In order to change the lid direction, follow these steps :
1. Close the lid. Remove both front latches and
lid handles.
2. Re-fit one of the latches and lid handles to the
alternative latch positions on the side of
the refrigerator. (Keep the spare parts safe)
3. Remove all three hinges from the rear of the
refrigerator. Also remove the hinge cover plates from
the alternative hinge locations.
4. Re-fit two of the hinges on the side of the refrigerator.
5. Align the lid and ensure that it closes fully before
tightening the screws.
6. Keep the spare hinge and screws in a safe place.
The Weekender will now be in the side-opening configuration
NOTE:
Take care not to apply excessive pressure when
locating the screws to the inside retaining nuts.
(They can be pushed too far back or incorrectly
angled).
Three hinge cover plates are supplied
(2 fitted) with the Weekender for covering the
unused hinge holes.
Tip - The optional Weekender protection jacket has
a side pocket which is ideal for keeping the spare
hinge and latch parts.
