10.5 Door Gasket Replacement
Damaged door gaskets may be replaced using the door gasket kit which includes a roll of gasket
material. The ideal installation temperature for the adhesive used on the replacement gaskets is
between 60 and 100 ºF (16 and 38 ºC). Installation is not recommended if the temperature is
below 50 ºF (10 ºC). Remove any damaged sections of gasket material from the door. If
necessary, use a citrus based adhesive cleaner to remove any adhesive that may stay attached to
the door. Cut replacement lengths of gasket material from the roll as needed. Remove the paper
backing to expose the adhesive and then carefully apply the replacement gasket to the door.
Take care not to leave any gaps between the meeting sections of the gasket strips.

capscrew that secures the door linkage to the door bracket as shown in

Warning:
Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not look directly into the optical adapters or
connectors. Exposure to invisible laser radiation may result. An optical power meter should be
used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any
radiating adapter or optical connector to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation
exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the adapter or connector
.
Note:
Support the door as the last nuts are removed to prevent the door from falling.
