door is flush. Then, the on size hole can be elongated
in the direction required. This can be done by grind-
ing or filing the sheet metal and then painting raw
edge to prevent rusting.

cover.
(5) The sliding door upper hinge can only be
moved outboard by addinga1mmshim behind the
hinge mounting area once the two attachment bolts
are removed and reinstalled.

tion use a heavy rubber mallet on the door assembly
until door is in specifications.
