5.2. PROCEDURE FOR REPLACING THE FLAT SEAL
The flat seal is made up of 2 sections:
• A section made of foam (1),
• An adhesive section (2).
5.2.1. REMOVING THE SEAL
• To remove the flat seal, peel off a corner of the seal and pull it towards you.
If the adhesive section (2) remains stuck to the cover, use "C" fluid (ethyl acetate) to remove it.
• Clean the surface, remove all paint and all other particles present on the surface, without scratching it.
• Clean the whole surface using "C" fluid (ethyl acetate).
5.2.2. FITTING A NEW SEAL
The new seal is made up of 3 sections:
• A section made of foam (1),
• An adhesive section (2),
• A protective paper covering the adhesive (3).
• Remove the cut-out sections such as screw holes.
• Present the seal. Line the contour of the seal up with that of the surface.
• Apply the new seal to the surface. Remove a corner of the protective paper covering, apply that part to
the surface, and then continue to remove the paper and put the seal into contact with the surface.
CAUTION:
To ensure a correct seal, it is essential to replace the seal each time a cover is removed.
