19. D djust door assembly The wheel axle is eccentric, meaning that the centre of rotation is not aligned with the shaft that mounts to the glass. s a result, you are able to slightly adjust the height and angle of the door by rotating the wheel shaft (the back portion of the wheel assembly, see below). The wheels can be set at their maximum, with the glass sitting higher off the base, or at their minimum, with the glass sitting closer to the base. The wheels can also be adjusted individually so that the door panel is slightly angled. This is useful in cases where the return panel (for corner installations) or closing wall (for alcove installations) is not perfectly plumb, preventing the door panel from closing flush. arefully close the door against the return panel. The edge of the door needs to butt up flush against the return panel for a proper water seal. If it does not, then adjust the top wheels by rotating them (remember the eccentric wheel shaft, see below), until the door closes flush. Min. (low) Max. (high) Max. (high) Min.
