Note
- Apply the protective foils as follows.
- The adhesive surfaces must free of dust and grease. Clean
with for example Cleaning Solution -D 009 401 04-.
- Clean the surfaces on the body with a water/isopropyl
mixture, (for example Cleaning Solution -009 401 04-) or with
tap water and 2 or 3 drops of dish washer detergent.
- Peel off the backing and moisten the entire adhesive
surface.
