Observe the operating temperature of the damping mat (see annex B, section Technical
Data).
• Cut the damping mat to size, if necessary (see annex B, section Technical Data).
• Remove a part of the protective foil and fold it (see Fig. 8.1).
• Fix the part of the damping mat without protective foil to the pipe.
• Fix the damping mat to the pipe: remove the protective foil bit by bit from the damping
mat and attach the damping mat to the pipe at the same time.
Improvement of adhesion and removal of air pockets:
• Press the roll in the middle of the damping mat along the pipe axis (see 1 in Fig. 8.2).
• Press the roll from the middle to the sides (see 2 in Fig. 8.2).
• Open the remaining air pockets with a knife.
Attention! Wear protective gloves and protective goggles when mounting the
damping mats.
In the event of contact with the eyes:

• see an eye specialist.
In the event of contact with the skin:
