4. Setup and Installation

The Falcon Ridge Soft Half Upper Front Doors are designed for quick and straightforward installation using Velcro straps and snaps. Follow these steps for proper attachment:

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure your Kawasaki Teryx KRX 1000 is clean and dry in the areas where the doors will be installed.
2. Position the Doors: Carefully align each soft door with the upper half of the front door frame on your UTV. The clear vinyl window section should face outwards.
3. Attach with Velcro Straps: Secure the doors to the UTV frame using the integrated Velcro straps. Wrap the straps around the roll cage or designated attachment points and firmly press the Velcro together.
4. Secure with Snaps: Utilize the heavy-duty snaps to further secure the doors. Attach the male snap components on the doors to the corresponding female snap components on your UTV. If self-adhesive Velcro strips are provided, apply them to the UTV frame where additional securing is needed, then press the door's Velcro against them.
5. Adjust for Fit: Once initially secured, adjust the straps and snaps to achieve a snug fit around the door frame. Ensure there are no large gaps that could allow excessive wind or debris entry.
6. Verify Security: Before driving, gently pull on the installed doors to confirm they are firmly attached and will not flap excessively during operation.

5. Operating the Doors

The Falcon Ridge Soft Half Upper Front Doors offer flexibility for various conditions:

• Zippered Windows: The clear vinyl windows feature full-length zippers. These can be easily unzipped to allow for increased ventilation within the UTV cabin.
• Rolling Away Doors: For maximum open-air experience, the doors can be rolled away when not in use. Unfasten the snaps and Velcro straps, then carefully roll the door material upwards or backwards and secure it with any integrated retention straps or ties.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life of your Falcon Ridge Soft Half Upper Front Doors:

• Cleaning Fabric: The marine-grade polyester material can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub away dirt. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage or re-installation.
• Cleaning Vinyl Windows: For clear vinyl windows, use a soft cloth and a specialized vinyl cleaner or a very mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes, as these can scratch or cloud the vinyl. Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, ensure the doors are clean and dry. Store them rolled or folded loosely in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and creasing of the vinyl.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all straps, snaps, and zippers for wear or damage. Replace any damaged components to maintain optimal performance and security.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your soft doors, consider the following:

• Doors Not Fitting Snugly: Re-check all Velcro strap and snap connections. Ensure they are pulled taut and securely fastened. The self-adhesive Velcro strips may need to be repositioned for better tension.
• Excessive Flapping: This usually indicates insufficient tension. Re-adjust all attachment points to ensure a tighter fit against the UTV frame. Ensure all snaps are engaged.
• Zippers Sticking: Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. A silicone-based zipper lubricant can be applied sparingly to improve operation.
• Reduced Visibility Through Windows: Clean the vinyl windows as described in the Maintenance section. If the vinyl is permanently clouded or scratched, replacement may be necessary.
