15.2.2 EMERGENCY EXIT WINDOWS
Three of the windows on curb side of the X3-45
serve as emergency exits, while there are four
on driver’s side. See figure 28. With the
exception of the top window edge, the glass
edges are unprotected. Be exceptionally careful
when manipulating or installing such windows.
When it becomes necessary to lay down the
unprotected edges of the glass window, never
use a steel or concrete floor support. It is
recommended to use a wooden support or a
padded surface.

An emergency exit window can be opened by
pulling the lower part of the release bar to
disengage the safety latches, and then by
pushing out the window frame (Figure 30).
Emergency operating instructions are affixed
under each emergency exit window. To close
the window, pull back the window and push
down the release bar.

Emergency Exit Release Bar
The emergency exit release bar system is
generally maintenance free. It has been
designed to answer the twenty pound resistance
criteria for opening the emergency window. If
this handle should be replaced:
1. Remove the screws and bolts securing it to
the emergency exit window;
2. Install a new release bar, reverse the
procedure.
NOTE
Check the legal twenty pound maximum
resistance to be sure to comply with
regulations.


Emergency Exit Window Adjustment
Emergency exit windows should be checked
periodically for easy opening and closing. Pulling
the lower part of the release bar with both hands
placed near the safety latches should disengage
both locks on the window simultaneously. The
tension required to release the window should
not exceed twenty pounds (9 kg) of force.
The release bar mechanism itself has been
designed such as no adjustments are neces-
sary.
If too much effort is required to disengage the
locks when pulling the release bar or if the
window doesn’t close tightly or rattles, check for
interference by foreign objects or nearby parts
into mechanism, such as rubber seal, wires, etc.
Correct situation immediately.
NOTE
Tangs on the lock must be in a horizontal
