CHECKING FRAME ALIGNMENT
- Install the frame on the door, complete with window raising device and fix it temporarily with the two nuts as shown.
- Check the torque necessary for the operation of the window by connecting the clip of an ammeter to the wiring of the power window motor. Check that the intensity of current does not exceed 8 A and that the time necessary to raise the window does not exceed six/seven seconds. If there is excessive resistance (high power absorption, or raising times too long) check the alignment between window and guide and move the frame as necessary. Check that the seals are intact and correctly positioned and check the adjustment of the frame until the correct current value is obtained.
- Fix the frame to the door and tighten the seven screws.
