Check adjustment and sealing of door (9) by inserting a sheet of paper between bottom edge of
door (9) and seal (3) on door frame (4), and closing both doors (9). Door seal (3) should offer
resistance when pulling out paper. If door seal (3) does not offer resistance, proceed to step 3.
Open door (9). Repeat step 1 for top edge and both side edges of door (9). If door seal (3) offers
resistance at all four sides of door (9), doors are adjusted correctly.
For vertical adjustment of door (9), loosen eight capscrews (12) securing hinges (1) to body (2). Slide
door (9) and hinges (1) up or down as required, hold door (9) in place, and tighten capscrews (12) to
15 lb-ft (20 Nom).
For outer edge of door (9) adjustment, loosen six locknuts (5) and capscrews (11) and remove or add
shims (6) as required between door (9) and hinge (1). Tighten locknuts (5) to 15 lb-ft (20 N-m).
If inner edges of doors (9) do not seal properly check for worn or damaged latch assembly rods (8),
left door seal (7), or latch rod catches (10). Replace latch rod catches (10) (para. 11-131), door seal (7)
(para. 11-130), or latch assembly (8) (para. 11-128) if damaged or worn.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 to ensure proper adjustment and sealing.
