APPENDIX E – Notes for painting the access door and cover plate
Important Information
Observe all safety notes/instructions for painting the ac-
cess door and cover plate.
The following parts (see Fig. 37) may be painted:
• The white cover plate
• The white outer surfaces of the access door
Material of the parts:
• The parts are made from a polycarbonate material.
• Check whether the paint to be used is suitable for
polycarbonate.
• For optimum adhesion of the paint it may be necessary to
apply a primer to the surfaces that will be painted.
•
Use of unsuitable paints may damage
the parts. Follow the recommendations of the paint
manufacturer.
The following parts (see Fig. 36) must not be painted:
• The black ventilation grille
• The turn lock
• The webbings
Work before painting
In order to simplify painting and reduce the work for
masking, the turn lock and the ventilation grille can be
removed/disassembled.
Please follow the steps below to remove the ventilation
grille and the turn lock:
1. Open the access door.
2. Remove the ventilation grille:
• Using a Torx T-15 remove the 4 screws securing the
ventilation grille to the access door.
• After removing the screws, depress the four (4) clips on
the side of the ventilation grille and remove it as shown in
Fig. 36.
3. Remove the turn lock:
To remove the turn lock, depress the four (4) clips and
remove it as shown in Fig. 37.
4. Mask the ventilation grille opening from the back side (side
with waffle pattern).
5. Close the access door and fix it in the closed position for
painting.
• This can be done with the help of tape that joins the flue
fan and the edge of the turn lock opening (see Fig. 38 for
this detail).
• Remove any tape that hangs over the edge by more
than 3 mm.
• Finally mask the turn lock opening with tape (hatched
area). Take care not to exceed 3 mm from the edge (this is
the area that will be covered by the turn lock).
6. Paint the access door and the cover plate.
Work after painting
7. Remove all masking.
8. Assemble the ventilation grille and the turn lock in the
reverse order. Make sure that they are installed in the right
direction.
9. Ensure turn lock operates correctly (if unsure: see “Closing
the access door” on Page 8).
Painting a detached access door
If necessary for masking or painting, the access door
can be detached temporarily.
• Remove the four (4) screws that fix the webbings.
• Fix the webbings again after painting.
Danger of personal injury or damage to the recrea-
tional vehicle.
Unsecured webbings cause the access door to become
loose and it may fall off when you are driving the RV.
• After painting, the webbings must be fixed firmly to the
access door with the original screws.
