  Note!
t  Note the use by date of the sealant.
t  Sump must be installed within 5 minutes of applying silicone sealing compound.
   
–  Cut-off tube nozzle at forward marking (nozzle approx. 3 mm Ø).
–  Apply silicone sealing compound, as shown, to clean sump sealing surface. Sealing compound bead must be:
