Installing heater pads
The heater pad must be correctly positioned so that the when the half moon clips are secured they are not too close to the heating loops or the surface of the heater pad.
Position the heater pad in the correct position. Do not remove the backing from the adhesive surfaces.
Secure one half of the heater pad. Fold up the other half.
Pull the backing (or part of the backing) off the adhesive surface closest to the center of the section of the heater pad that is bent up.
Carefully bring the adhesive surface down onto the foam filling. Work with small sections at a time. Start from the center and work out towards the edges.
Continue in the same way with the other adhesive surfaces.
If the heater pad terminates at the channel, position it as shown in the illustration.
The end of the pad must not be up on the flat surface.
If the heater pad is the type where the pad and/or cable is placed in the channel, the pad must follow the foam filling as shown in the illustration. If not, the pad and/or cable may be loaded and damage the pad. The type of seam on the upholstery may cause wear in the long term.
There must not be any bubbles or kinks when the heater pad is bonded to the foam filling. This increases the risk of damage to the pad during use. This applies to the entire surface, but to the heating wires in particular.
When the heater pad has been bonded into place the positional straps (gray in the illustration) must be cut apart. This only applies to those types of heater pads that have positional straps.
The positional straps must not be cut before bonding is complete.
