11-2. BALLISTIC CREW DOOR MAINTENANCE (Cont’d)
1. Inspect crew door assembly (2) for proper alignment. Ensure door (2) is centered between pillar (7),
roof (5), cargo shell (10), and lower side rail (8). If out-of-alignment condition exists, perform
horizontal or vertical adjustment procedures.
2. Inspect crew door assembly (2) to ensure latch (1) is closing completely on striker (15) without
extreme force. If latch (1) is out of adjustment, perform latch (1) adjustment procedures.
3. Inspect hinge (4) and latch (1) for adjustment. Insert a piece of paper (9) between crew door
assembly (2) and pillar (7), and close door (2). Perform this test at four or five locations around the
door (2). Door seals should offer some resistance when paper is pulled out. If door seal does not offer
resistance, or resistance is excessive, perform hinge and latch adjustment procedures.
4. Inspect latch (1), hinge (4), and door handle (3) for loose, missing, or unserviceable parts.
