Clean adhesive area.

Installation:

Pull protective film (liner) off seal to half-way point

Feed seal at top into rubber guide (3)

Gently press seal without stretching

Check positioning of seal, correct if necessary and firmly

press.

Pull remaining protective film (liner) off seal.

Press remaining seal without stretching.

Check positioning of seal, correct if necessary and firmly

press.

Important!

It is not the length of pressing in time but rather the level
of pressing (approx. 10 ... 15 N/cm

) which is decisive

here.

Separation of seal after pressing destroys the adhesive
layer.

times. Do not dirty adhesive area.
