RS-500 5K Walk-In Cooler Door Installation and Operation Manual
Section 4: Maintenance
Section 4.1.1: Cleaning Panels and (if Present) Window
The door panels (and the window, if present) can be cleaned by gently wiping any soiled areas with a cloth and mildly soapy water.
Rinse the area with water to remove the solution, then immediately dry the panels using a separate cloth. Do not raise the door
until it is completely dry.
To access the inside of the panels, reach inside the track and break the seal. Grab the three layers, then pull them toward yourself
until both tension pipes clear the track.
To restore the panels, repeat the process in reverse. Ensure the front pipe is lower than the back pipe.
NOTICE:
Do not use solvents or strong alkaline cleaners.
Section 4.1: Cleaning and Adjustment
Section 4.1.2: Adjusting Panels and Tension Pipes
The tension pipes must remain in close proximity to one another (between 1/4" and 1/2") during normal operation. If the tension
pipes are too far apart, they will not repel each other, causing poor contact with the floating seal. If the tension pipes touch one
another, the panel material will flow unevenly and become wrinkled.
The clearance between the tension pipes can be adjusted by raising or lowering the door panels. The door has three panels,
including the inside panel, which is attached to the back plate and faces the door opening; the center panel, which is attached
to the drive pipe; and the outside panel, which is attached to the front bar and faces outside the chamber. Only the inside and
outside panels are adjustable.
NOTICE:
Ensure the door is closed and the panels are not damaged before making adjustments.
The height of the inside and outside tension pipes can be adjusted as follows:
1. Remove the wing nuts, then detach the hook-and-loop fastener on the panel from the hook-and-loop on the front bar (inside)
or back plate (outside).
2. Raise or lower the panel as needed.
3. Reattach the hook-and-loop fastener on the panel to the hook-and-loop on the front bar (inside) or back plate (outside).
Ensure the panel remains level.
4. Reinstall the wing nuts on the front bar (inside) or back plate (outside).
