First check Gap AND Flush. Refer to GAP AND FLUSH DIMENSIONS . Check seal compression near the middle of the door, even with the latch assembly. Using a piece of paper, place it across the door seal and close the door. Pull the paper out of the door opening. If the paper tears, the setting is too tight. If the paper pulls out too easily, the compression is insufficient and needs to be adjusted.

1. Open the door to mid-point of travel.
2. Mark the outline of upper roller arm on the door to assist in making adjustments.
3. Loosen the bolts attaching upper roller arm to door.
4. Add shim to decrease seal compression.
5. Tighten the upper roller arm bolts to the proper specification. Refer to TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS .
6. Verify door alignment, adjust as necessary.
