With dry shop towel clean dirt off the inside channel of the inner guide, also the zipper
teeth of the curtain.
3.
Starting at top run a bead of DFLS 406 down each side of the inner guide, continue
running the down to the about the last third of the guide. See Figure 4-1.

Using small paint brush spread DFLS 406 in the inner guide to a light film in all inner

4.2. Inspection/Maintenance
4.2.1. Philosophy
RAYNOR
doors are virtually maintenance free. The door design allows for accidental impacts to
the door, combined with the full reinsertion feature of the door, it is nearly impossible to track how
many times the door has been impacted or when. That is the sole reason inspection of the door
parts is crucial and necessary. Doors will vary in usage, so inspection and lube schedules should
be tailored to meet the demands the door. In this chapter we will demonstrate a quarterly
inspection schedule, this may not fit every door scenario, but the inspection and lube should
always be performed minimally on an annual basis.
Only trained and certified personnel should perform maintenance on the
RAYNOR
door. Maintenance and/or inspection by unqualified technicians
may result in injury or damage to equipment.
Use all safe electrical and mechanical practices will doing routine inspections
on the
RAYNOR
door, i.e. Lock Out Tag Out, when doing mechanical
repairs.
