QUICK ACTING CLOSURE LINKAGE INSPECTION

THE LINKAGE MECHANISMS ON QUICK ACTING DOORS CAN BE EASILY INSPECTED FOR WEAR AND COMMON DAMAGE.  THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF LINKAGES IS ABSOLUTELY VITAL.  THE FAILURE OF ANY PART OF A LINKAGE CAN DISABLE THE ENTIRE MECHANISM.


HOW TO INSPECT QUICK ACTING LINKAGES AND THEIR CONNECTING RODS
  1. VISUALLY CHECK TO SEE THAT ALL BRASS CONROD COLLARS (ROUND NUTS) AND THEIR COTTER PINS ARE IN PLACE.

  2. WITH THE DOOR OPEN, GRASP EACH CONNECTING ROD IN TURN AND SHAKE THE LINKAGE.  IF THE LINKAGE IS LOOSE OR MOVES MORE THAN 1/8", THE LINKAGE BUSHINGS ARE WORN AND SHOULD BE REPLACED.

  3. CONNECTING RODS ARE SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY WITH STUDS SWAGED IN PLACE.  WITH USE, THEY MAY LOOSEN OR BREAK OFF.  TO CHECK FOR LOOSE STUDS, OPEN THE DOOR AND WORK THE HAND LEVER BACK AND FORTH WHILE LOOKING AT EACH STUD IN TURN.  ANY STUDS THAT MOVE MUST BE TIGHTENED TO THEIR CONRODS BY SWAGING.  REPLACE ANY MISSING STUDS.
