Warranty Consult Care specific Guide. hardware Consult Folding specific Door hardware care and Folding maintenance Door care guide: and maintenance guide: Hinges: Wipe down the visible surfaces with warm soapy water on a soft cloth and then rinse off by wiping with a clean damp cloth. twinpoint: Spray suitable lubricant, such as, CRC Marine 66, Innox or WD40 to sliding pin and lock cylinder. Use plastic tube (supplied with lubricant) to direct spray. track and bearings: Apply, approximately 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) of white petroleum jelly (Vaseline) or equivalent, to inner lip of each side of head track. Use clean cloth. Distribute lubricant evenly along track. Ensure wheels and bearings receive sufficient lubricant. Wipe all contaminant from track surfaces with damp cloth and mild detergent, clean surfaces with clean soft cloth. Apply thin film for systems installed in severe environments by wiping surfaces of track with anti-corrosive substance, such as, CRC Marine 66, Innox or WD40. Hangers, pivots and brackets: Spray thin film to hangers, pivots and brackets with anti-corrosive substance, such as, CRC Marine 66, Innox or WD40. Wipe exposed surfaces with clean soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water; rinse clean before applying corrosive preventative.
