12. DOORS
12.1
Apply grease to the pin hinges. With assistance, re
-install the doors onto the pin hinges. Work the doors
back and forth until the hinges are completely seated. If
necessary, specific adjustments can be made per the steps
below. Note: the top of the door should end up visually
parallel with the side of the roof. Note: the door latch is a
rotary type with two positions to close. Adjust door so
that when fully closed door latch clicks twice for total
engagement.
Per fig. 12.2, the large striker bolt and nut can be loos-
ened and reset higher or lower, in or out for better en-
gagement and door seal. Use two 19mm open end
wrenches. Note: finger guard to end up being centered
and facing inward.

Per fig. 12.3, the 1/4" hex head bolts on the door hinges
can be loosened on the rear tube, or on the door itself, or
in both places, in order to rotate or move the door up or
down and forward or backward as necessary for proper
alignment with side frame. Note: An assistant will be
needed for this step. Keep the hinge sleeves fully seated
on the pin hinges. Tighten all hinge bolts using caution to
not over tighten. Over tightening will crush (damage) the
structural tubing. Torque to 40 inch-pounds.
Per fig. 12.4, the inside latch can be moved forward or
RIGHT
back for proper engagement with the striker bolt. Loosen
the two hex head bolts shown to move the latch. Re-
tighten bolts.
CAUTION: FOR SAFE OPERATION, DO NOT
DRIVE WITH DOORS OPEN. MAKE SURE
DOORS ARE CLOSED AND PROPERLY
LATCHED WHEN DRIVING.
For soft sided doors, install the supplied vinyl coated
cable door stops between the upper bracket on the doors
and the upper bracket on the side frames. Use the follow-
ing hardware: four 5/16 x 3/4" long hex head bolts, eight
steel washers, and four locknuts. Do not tighten down
firmly. Allow for free pivoting.
For hard sided doors, install the supplied gas shocks to
