graB hanDle
The grab handle is used to aid in
entering and exiting the motorhome.
entry Door
The entry door is adjusted at the
factory and tested for all operations. The
door uses two separate locks for safety
and security. One locking system is
the door lock and the other is a dead
bolt. The door handle incorporates
a primary and secondary latching
system. This is used to ensure secure and safe
latching. There are adjustments which can be
made to help maintain entry door performance.

Adjusting the Entry Door Latch:
Determine which bolt needs adjustment.
Slowly close the entry door observing
the latch and strike bolt alignment. DO
NOT attempt to latch if the alignment
is off. If the alignment is correct, allow
the latch to catch in the rst (primary)
position only.
The latch should move to the second
position with only slight pressure applied
to the entry door. Upper and lower
latches should be evenly timed. Press
on the entry door to check for further
movement.
The entry handle should operate with
little effort to open the entry door. Excess
pressure indicates the bolts are set too far
back.




With a box wrench or socket, loosen
the movable strike bolt. Make all
adjustments in small increments. Tighten
the bolt rmly after making adjustments.
The bolts should have slight up and
down movement for vibration control in
travel.
Test the operation of the dead bolt lock
to ensure proper functions.
Apply silicone weekly to the entry door
rubber gaskets to prevent squeaking
while the motorhome is in use. Use a 1”
sponge paint brush, sprayed with silicone
for easy application.
CAUTION:
When operating the entry door, ensure
the dead bolt latch is fully unlocked
prior to closing. Failure to do so can
result in damage to the dead bolt and/or
entry door.
Changing Screen Door Glass:
The screen slider is Tuffak®; the
slider can be bowed for removal and
replacement.
Replace with new Tuffak® and reverse
the procedure.
