INSTALLATION & OpERATION
Door Leveling (Door Sag/Sawtooth)
Doors must be leveled before the bumper and kickplate are installed (
).
For French-swing doors, there should be a 7/16" gap between doors at the
handle side and a 3/8" at the hinge side. To set the proper gaps, loosen the
screws holding the top or bottom door mounting plates, then shift the door.
BOTTOM MOUNTING PLATE
To move the bottom mounting plate, the center locking screw (located behind
the bumper) must be loosened.
1.
To remove the bumper, use a flathead screwdriver to pry it up from the
bottom. Lift the edge, and then slide the screwdriver down the entire
length of the bumper to loosen it. Once the bottom edge is disconnected,
use a hammer to tap the screwdriver upwards and disengage the bumper
from the upper track. Remove the bumper.
2. Loosen the center locking screw by 2 turns, accessed through the hole
in the bumper support plate (
). This will allow the bottom
mounting plate to shift. Do not remove the center locking screw.
3. Tap the door’s aluminum extrusion with a rubber mallet to shift the door.
Once the door is in position, retighten the center locking screw.
TOP MOUNTING PLATE
1. To access the top mounting plate, remove the top trim piece. This will
require a Phillips bit and a 1/4" hex screw bit.
2. Loosen all 3 screws that secure the slotted plate by 2 turns (
). Do not remove the screws.
3. Tap the door's aluminum extrusion with a rubber mallet to shift the door.
Once the door is in position, retighten all screws.
Drain
The 1.5" PVC drain line exits from the bottom center of the case. The lateral
runs of drain pipe should be installed through the bases, as needed (
). There is no room in front of the base for the drain pipe because the
kickplate installs directly to the front of the bases.
Install the drain tee to the outlet pipe and a drain trap to the tee. Plug the open
end of the tee using the clean-out plug supplied with the drain trap kit. The
drain line must be pitched away from the case. The tee, drain trap, and plug
are supplied with the case. The drain trap must be level. The drain trap should
be primed with water after installation. The drain line must be pitched away
from the case enough to ensure proper drainage, typically at least 1/4" per foot.
Consult your local codes for minimum requirements.
The forward drain section, tee, and “R” trap are shipped loose for field
installation.
