slider. (Figure 16)

NOTE: Countersink recess should face up.

4. Align hub initially as shown and insert two

(2) 10-24 x 3/8" adjustment set screws. Turn

both set screws just enough to retain slider

centering hub. Do not tighten rmly at this

time. (Figure 17)

NOTE: Align square shank of slider with

square in centering hub for proper tment.

5. Insert 1/4-20 x 3/4" at head socket hex screw

and tighten.

6. Open latch and sweep valves to allow door to

close and observe door and frame alignment.

If door is not centered in frame when closed,

reopen door and use 5/16" hex wrench to

rotate slider centering hub until door is

centered. (Figure 18)

NOTE:

DO NOT fully open valves. Valves will leak.

Door should be centered in frame when in
