Hello,

The Leg that supports the ash door hinge on my Encore is loose, and it's not immediately apparent how to tighten the leg. As the leg is not tight, the ash door has quite a bit of play that can make a tight closure a trick. Can anyone give me a good idea how to remedy this problem?

Thanks,
 
The leg is attached with an allen screw, the socket of this allen screw is what holds the top of the ash door pin. To tighten the leg simply remove the ash door pin, and then use the appropriate size allen wrench to tighten. After tightening the allen screw you may need to adjust the leveler at the bottom of the leg.
 
Thank you.

The location of that cotter pin makes so much more sense now.
