Door Pre-Adjustment Inspection

NOTE: Before attempting any door adjustment procedures, open and close the door several times and observe the operation. With the door in an open position, attempt to lift the door at the outboard lower edge. Check for excessive up and down travel. If the door exhibits excessive up and down movement, new door hinge bushings or door hinge pins may need to be installed.
NOTE: Door hinges must be in the correct operating condition before the door(s) can be correctly adjusted.
NOTE: Check the door(s) for any of the following conditions.
  1. 7. Check for the door dropping while opening.
    • If the hinge pin bushings are worn, install new bushings.
    • If the hinge pins are worn, install new hinge pins.
    • If the hinge(s) is damaged, install a new hinge(s).
    • If dirt or corrosion is on the door hinge(s), lubricate the door hinges. Refer to SPECIFICATIONS .
  2. 8. Verify if the door closing requires high effort.
