STEP 2:
Headroom
Clearance -
Measure headroom
to be sure there is
sufficient clearance to
accept the counterbal-
ance and to allow the
door to clear under the
roof bows (Figure 2A).
Use the chart in Figure
2B to determine the
required headroom for
your particular installa-
tion. Keep in mind that
whatever you add must
be flush with the inside
of the side post.
Note: Figure 2A shows
the counter-balance
against roof skin.

STEP 1
Check the door parts to make sure you have received all needed
items. Note any shortages or damages on delivery receipt as Fleet

shipment.

STEP 3: Sideroom Clearance
The minimum sideroom clearance is 2-1/2” on each side from the
post (opening) to the wall. Figure 3.
In the event it is necessary to add on the corner post, keep the
added piece flush with the inside of the header.

STEP 4: Measuring Door Opening
Because each Fleet Engineers door is custom made, it is neces-
sary to check the opening measurement. These measurements
must be finished opening width and height. “Finished” means
there must be the header and side room clearance mentioned in
previous steps to insure proper installation.
Opening height is from the header to the sill, Figure 2A. Opening
width is from post to post, Figure 3. On older units, measure-
ments should be taken in at least three different places for open-
ing width and height. Cutting back of the floor on older units may
be necessary to permit the door to sit on the sill, below the floor.
See “D” dimension and chart in Figure 2B.
STEP 5: Vertical Track Installation
Position vertical tracks on corner posts as shown in Figure 3 and
clamp in place. Notch in mounting angle should line up with the
bottom of header (Figure 2A). If necessary, the bottom of the
vertical track assemblies may be cut off to permit the notch to line
up with the underside of the header. Keep both tracks the same
length.
