CAUTION:
Ensure that the heater pad is correctly positioned so that the half moon clips can be secured clear of the heater elements and 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.
Bend up the other half of the heater pad.
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.
