1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This installation manual describes installation procedures for the Ventura plug slide door system. Together with the
commissioning manual and the system drawings makes a complete set of installation documentation. It is important to follow all
instructions. All instructions must be conducted without air pressure/electric power unless mentioned otherwise. The instructions
should be executed for both door leaves when the system contains two door leaves. A well-adjusted door system is less vulnerable
to failure. The right maintenance is crucial for the durability of the door system.
1.2 Scope
The purpose of this document is to guide trained mechanics trough the installation steps of the plug slide door system.
1.3 Definitions

Ventura Systems cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that may involve a potential hazard. The warnings in this
document and on the product are not all-inclusive. If a method of installation or operation is used, which is not specifically
recommended by Ventura Systems, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and for others. You should also ensure that the
door system will not be damaged or be made unsafe by the installation and/or operational methods you choose. The information,
specifications and illustrations in this document are based on the information that was available at the time this document was
written and can change at any time without notice.
2.2 Disclaimer
The information contained in this document is based upon reliable technical data at the time the document was published. These
instructions are intended for use by persons having the technical knowledge to install, maintain or repair this door system. The

manual states otherwise, follow the manual.
While working on the Ventura door systems wear
appropriate personal protective equipment.
This list may include but is not limited to:
Do not attempt to install the door system under • Protective shoes with slip resistant soles
influence of drugs or alcohol. • Protective goggles, glasses or face shield
• A hard hat
NOTICE
Do not remove the factory installed white zip ties. If the manual states otherwise, follow the manual. Never remove black zip
ties.
Read and follow the instructions written on the parts to see which zip ties are not allowed to be removed.

4 Installation
Execute the following steps to install the system.
Figure 11: Connecting the door shaft onto the top bracket
CAUTION!
The door leaves are heavy. We advise to install the door leaves
with two persons to prevent personal injury and prevent severe
damage to the door system. Figure 18: Required parts for this step
Checking connection
• The door mechanism is always shipped with a cable tie
(1) which secures the right side bearing house to the
drive bracket. Without this cable tie (1) this connection
can be made undone when the bearing house is being
tilted.
• Make sure the pin (2) on the drive bracket is inside the
drive bracket hole. If not, then tilt the door arm and
put the pin (2) through the hole. The pin (2) needs to
protrude the drive bracket bush at least 1mm. Figure 20: Checking connection
Figure 21: Connecting the door arms onto the door mechanism
Position 1 Position 2
If the door leaves are not parallel (1) to each other, adjust this by following the next steps. These steps are the same for both a
type A door and a type B door.
1. Loosen the rotation point (2) slightly and fully loosen the other 3 fasteners which hold the door leaf to the door arm.
2. Adjust the door leaves by turning the adjust bolts (3) until they are parallel with each other and a straight line of sight is
visible.
3. Tighten the fasteners
If the door leaves and the step edge (1) are not parallel to each other, fix this by following the next steps.
1. Loosen the rotation point (2) slightly and also fully loosen the other 3 fasteners.
2. Rotate the door leaf until it is parallel with the step edge.
3. Tighten the fasteners
If distance 1 is not 50±2mm and parallel, adjust the height of the door leaves by moving the door mechanism up or down
following the next steps.
1. Loosen the fasteners (2) that hold the door mechanism to the adapter bracket.
2. Loosen the bottom support (4) and top bracket (3)
3. Level the door mechanism and make sure there is 50±2mm of space between the portal and the top of the door leaves.
4. Tighten the fasteners (2)
5. Remove any vertical play in the door shaft by adjusting the bottom support (4) and top bracket (3)
Figure 29: Connection rod Figure 30: Space between rail and door shaft Figure 31: End Stop
Position 1 Position 2
Check if both bearing houses (2) move against the rubbers (1) in fully open position. There may not be any space between these
parts (4). If there is space between the rubber (1) and the bearing house (2), follow the next steps.
1. Put the door leaves in open position by hand.
2. Check if the bearing house (2) touches the rubber (1) on the end of the movement. If not, check if the door mechanism is
centered (See step 1).
3. Loosen the tension bracket (3).
4. Push the left door leaf so it will move into fully open position until the bearing house (2) is touching the rubber (1) on the
end.
5. Hand-tighten the tension bracket (3).
WARNING!
Remove the power and/or pressure from the system before making any adjustment.
NOTE
Moving the right camroller to the left side will reduce pressure and moving to the right side will increase pressure between the
door leaves.
Position 1 Position 2
If the space (2) between the door leaves is not as described in the system drawing at the top of the door leaves. Adjust this by
following the next steps.
1. Loosen the 3 fasteners on the bearing house drive bracket.
2. The camroller bracket (3) between the bearing house and drive bracket can now move through the slotted holes,
changing the space (2) between the door leaves. Adjust the space between the door leaves at the top to the distance
described in the system drawing.
4.11 Door leaves glass flush with the outside of the vehicle
This step is important for getting a tight seal between the rubbers of the door and the bus. Put the doors in closed position (with
power) and check if the glass of the door leaves is flush with the outside of the vehicle.
WARNING!
Remove the power and/or pressure from the system before making any adjustment.
NOTE
Do not use the connection rod to adjust the inward/outward position of the door leaves.
Position 1 Position 2
Figure 37: Adjusting upper corners, glass flush with vehicle Figure 38: Adjusting bottom corners, glass flush with vehicle
body body
Adjust the doors to fit properly in all corners. Follow the next step to adjust the doors to be aligned with the portal in the upper
corners.
• To adjust the inward/outward position of the door mechanism (1) loosen the top fasteners that hold the door mechanism
to the adapter brackets. When lose, the position of the door mechanism can be adjusted inward and outward.
Follow the next step to adjust the doors to be aligned with the portal in the bottom corners.
• Adjust inward/outward position door leaves by adjusting the position of the door shaft (2) on the bottom support. Loosen
the fastener and move the pivot inwards or outwards.
WARNING!
Remove the power and/or pressure from the system before making any adjustment.

5 Torque Settings
All generic plug slide settings that require torque tightening are in this chapter. Check all mentioned fasteners on the correct
torque settings. In case of a double leaf system, check both sides. The torque settings of marked fasteners may be verified by
checking if the marking is intact.
The fasteners which connect Ventura parts onto the vehicle are, in most cases, non-Ventura parts. Therefor the torque of these
fasteners is not defined by Ventura.
The position in the system overview have details in the following part of this manual. In the second part the torque settings are
described.

6 Operational checks
Execute these checks before applying power.
WARNING!
Applying power to an unchecked system may result in a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION!
