lower door section (refer to Section 2, Placards). Check that the lower
front and rear latches are correctly engaged. After the lower door
I section is secured, grasp the pull strap on the upper door section and
pull down and inboard. As the door nears the closed position, pull
inboard firmly to make sure the latching pawls engage correctly. When
