Installation Manual
Door (DE) & Flyscreen (HOPL)

Important

Read this instruction manual carefully before installation. If you pass on the door to another person, please hand over this installation manual along with the product.

Before starting the installation do a precise, visual, quality check of the received door and or flyscreen! In case of a quality issue please inform Outbound asap.

Safety and installation instructions

Please carefully read the prescribed safety instructions and stipulations from the vehicle manufacturerand service workshops.

Leave all the coloured spacers in their current position until the door is completely installed!

We strongly suggest to check before starting the installation if this is having an impact on the vehicle registration. This to avoid possible problems with government authorities and/ or with your insurance company.

Outbound accepts no liability for damage in the following cases:

  • Damage to the product resulting from mechanical influences.
  • Alterations to the door and flyscreen.
  • We advise NOT to spray / paint the vehicle and the products in a dark color. Dark colors absorb heat and affect the vehicle and the installed products. This can lead to damage / distortion of the products and negatively influence the operation of the products.

Warning! Failure to observe this instruction can cause material damage and impair the function of the door and flyscreen.

Note: If you do not have sufficient technical knowledge for installing the components in vehicles, you shouldhave a specialist install the window in your vehicle.

Please note the following:

  • If faults or disturbances occur, consult a specialist workshop immediately.
  • Before starting your journey, check that the door is locked properly and free from damage.
  • Close the door in strong wind and upon precipitation

Warning! Always keep the door closed and locked while driving.

Instructions before installation

Before installation, check the wall thickness of your vehicle. The Outbound door can be used without modification in a 60 to 85 mm thick wall, with and without flyscreen. Depending on the construction it can be necessary to reinforce the wall.

Below 60 mm we ask you to fill and reinforce the wall with a frame.

When choosing the installation location, observe the following:

  • Adjoining components (attachment and reinforcing parts), cables and cabinets in the vehicle interior must not get damaged when sawing the hole.
  • Sufficient space needs to be available for installing the frame.
  • Only install the frame on flat surfaces and do not bend the frame.
  • Torsion and tension in the box and vehicle can damage the door e.g. causing cracks and problems with closing.
  • Check the positioning of the door on the in- and outside of the vehicle.
  • Doors and hatches are produced with a single fitting key, unless ordered otherwise.
  • Always mount the door with the hinge towards the front of the vehicle.

In the picture the door is mounted together with the flyscreen (HO-PL).

If not possible to mount it flat on the floor, see picture right, were a screen door sill is used.

Pressing / cutting out the hole

Make the cut-out according to the drawing below. In the drawing and the diagram with the measurements, a margin has already been taken into account in order to install the products as good as possible. Always place the product tension-free.

Installing the Outbound door

Preparation of the installation surface and product

  • Sand the to be glued surface with sandpaper, clean and degrease the surface you want to glue.
  • Then apply activator (or equivalent) according to the instruction of the glue-manufacturer.
  • Primer can be necessary according to the instructions of the glue-manufacturer.

Installation of the door

  • Apply adhesive to the framework.
  • Place the framework in the opening and apply pressure to the frame.
  • Unlock the handle so there is no tension on the frame, do not open the door and leave the coloured spacers in their position.
  • Make sure the frame is completely straight, not bent or twisted in any direction, specifically at the position of the lock.
  • Visually check that all the adhesive comes out completely from under the frame and that the outer frame is fully in contact with the wall surface, without any gaps left.
  • Remove excessive adhesive immediately after the installation.
  • Do not open the product and do not use clamps to clamp the frame in the wall panel. Tape is a good alternative.
  • Allow the adhesive to set for 24 hours.
  • Once the adhesive is set and has sufficient strength, check if the wall panel is still flat and even. A not flat or not straight wall panel will influence the functioning and closing of the Outbound door and can result in a product that is not waterproof.
  • Check the door frame on positioning and closing of the door and lock. Make sure the coloured spacers are back in position afterwards.
  • Close the door and make sure the wall and door are completely straight and flat, this is especially important near the lock. If needed use the spacers to make sure everything is straight.
  • Finish the inside seam with adhesive (or equivalent).
  • After 24 hours the coloured spacers can be removed and the product can be used and -if applicable-the flyscreen can be mounted.

Making a final check

  • After installing, check if the door works properly.
  • If necessary, enter the new vehicle weight in the vehicle documents.

The door is completely closed when the handle behind the lock is pulled towards you from the inside and locked if you hear a click. Secure and shut the door with the rotary knob on the inside orkey on the outside.

Installation of the flyscreen

  • Put the flyscreen in place over the door frame and check the positioning.
  • Prepare the to be glued surface. Glue or screw the framework to the wall. (A few drops of glue is enough).

Servicing the Outbound door and flyscreen

  • Lubricate the lock regularly with a suitable lubricant.
  • Clean the flyscreen with mild soap and water.
  • We recommend lubricating the rails with a silicone spray.
  • Put talcum powder on the rubber seal of the door, this extends the life of the rubber.
  • Adjust the fly screen by moving the clamping block in the closing profile until the cord is under slight tension, while the draw beam stays in place. Tighten the clamping block. Repeat this operation for the cord in the top profile.
