Maintenance Manual

Maintenance Program

This manual has been prepared to assist you in maintaining your Flexible Doors. A
regular maintenance program is the easiest way to ensure free operation of the Chase
Doors. Your program should include a regularly scheduled lubrication and cleaning
procedure.

y The doors and seals should be inspected visually.
y Panel should be checked for cuts and tears.
y Hinges should be securely fastened.
y The door should open and close freely.
y When closed the door should be centered in the opening.
y Double doors should seal in the middle
y Impact plates, kickplates and hinge should be examined for

loose fasteneres

Our recommendation for lubrication and cleaning are as follows:

Hinge System:

y On bracket with grease fittings, it is necessary to lubricate every three months with a

light all purpose grease. DO NOT OVER GREASE. Inspect for loose fasteners.

y In water, wash-down applications, lubricate monthly or as required to prevent bearing

failure.

Door Panel:

y Wash door panel with dishwashing detergent, mixed with water 1/50. DO NOT USE

ANY TYPE OF SPRAY CLEANER, ACETONES, CHLORINATED SOLVENTS OR
OTHER CHEMICALS OF THIS TYPE. This door can be wash-down with a power
sprayer or with a sponge or cloth.

Window Cleaning:

y Wash the window area with a mild soap or an all purpose glass cleaner and

dry with a soft cloth. Do not use solvents, bleach or petroleum products on windows.

Trouble shooting procedure for general problems

As with any product designed for impact, Chase Doors will suffer some wear and tear
over years of use. We have developed a trouble shooting procedure to help identify the
most common problems and repair directions to assist in returning the door to
operational condition. It is important in following the trouble shooting procedures, that
accurate measurements be taken when there is a need to call the factory.

y General Problems

1. Door will not swing properly
a. Lubricate hinge bracket
b. Assure that hinge bracket is plumb

2. Doors do not seal at center

a. Check bracket alignment, if it is not aligned it can be shimmed at jamb to
assist centering.

3. Door panels sag or hang down in the center of the opening.

a. Check hinge bearings. If worn out, replace and shim hinges as required.
b. The hinge arms should be parallel to the header of the door so that the panels
hang down straight. Shim as required to insure that the arms are straight.

4. Inspect panel for tears or puncture in fabric. If found, call factory for repair kit.

5. Inspect window for cracks or if it is coming loose from the panel. If a problem
exists, call the factory for a repair kit.

6. Panel may have loose nylon reinforcement threads along edge, these may be
removed with a soldering iron or small propane torch. THIS SHOULD BE DONE
WITH EXTREME CAUTION. THE THREADS BURN AWAY VERY EASILY SO
DO NOT LEAVE IN ONE SPOT TOO LONG.

We hope that you will follow our guidelines and establish a regular

cleaning/lubrication/inspection program.
