Fig 1: Moving Tubular Frame (Shown On Model 171.4)

When the tubular frame (1) is moved by hand for adjustment work or repair, it is necessary to ensure that the tubular frame (1) is simultaneously pulled toward the rear and upward when moving in the area of the striker eye (2).

This applies even when the trunk lid is locked in the trunk lid lock. Here, it is necessary to pull the trunk lid toward the rear and simultaneously upward on the handle when moving the tubular frame (1).

This serves to prevent the brackets (3) of the 2-articulated hinges (4) lying above the shackles (5) on the tubular frame (1).

When attaching the tubular frame (1) to the rear center assembly, ensure that the shackle (3) is located inside the lugs (5).

If the tubular frame (1) is moved, when the shackles (5) are over the brackets (3) of if the brackets (3) are tilted, the tubular frame (1) or the 2-articulated (4) will be damaged and the tubular frame (1) will have to be replaced.
