4.With a 3/16 in. Allen wrench, remove the front manifold tube retainer bolt on the air channel under the end of the front tube. See Figure 31.2.

C. Door and Door Gasket

Periodically check the door gasket for proper seal. As the gasket compresses or “seats” during use, it may become necessary to adjust or tighten the door latch.

To Adjust or Tighten Door Latch

Remove spacing washers shown in Figure 31.4. At least one spacing washer and the black washer must be left in place.

OR

Replace the gasket material. Wear or damage to the gasket material can cause air leakage into the firebox resulting in overfiring and loss of efficiency.

A replacement gasket is available from your dealer.
