Preparing Connection Areas Of The Body For Installation

  1. Align the sealing surface and connections of the body.
  2. De-burr connection areas and prepare for welding.

    Information 

    • Before final assembly, make sure you fully understand all the work steps involved and carry out a trial assembly without applying adhesive. 
    • The bonding process can only be carried out reliably when a smooth and swift sequence of operations is guaranteed. 
    • Do not begin bonding work until all materials and tools necessary for later repair work are available. 
  3. Prepare marked areas for welding and bonding.
