Information

Adjust gap dimensions on lid and accessories in accordance with the gap specifications.
Given a clearance in the opening that is too great or too small, the accessories must be centred with respect to the body.
Ensure that the gaps do not run in a wedge-shaped fashion or do not narrow at local points.
The given values are guidelines, which should be observed as far as possible.
The guidelines apply to repair work and assembly work.
Use star gauges to check the gap dimensions. Star gauge WE 1690
