Without Air and/or Without Electricity
If the air pressure drops while the coach has or
hasn’t any electricity, the spring loaded cylinders
will unlatch the door. In such a case, unlock the
door by moving the lever on the door or by using
the key, then open the door manually.
With Air but Without Electricity
From inside the vehicle, turn the emergency exit
valve to the "UNLOCK” position. Move the lever.
From the exterior, turn the emergency exit valve
to the “UNLOCK” position. Open the door. Close
it, lock with the key and reset the outside
emergency exit valve to the “NORMAL” position.
Door Cycle Speed Adjustment
To do any adjustment, remove the panels
located next to the R.H door panel hinges.
CAUTION
It is important to make sure that damper does
not reach end of stroke when bi-fold entrance
door is completely closed or opened. The door
cylinders must stop the door on opening.
Screw or unscrew rod end to adjust if
necessary.
To adjust opening and closing cycle speed on
damper (Fig. 23):
1. Remove the damper from the vehicle and
hold it vertically with the lower eye or pin
attachment in a vice. Use clamp plates to
prevent damage.
2. Fully close the damper while turning the
dust cap or piston rod slowly CCW until it is
felt that the cams of the adjusting nut
engage in the recesses of the foot valve
assembly (Fig. 23).
