  Note

  • Apply the protective foils as follows.
  • The adhesive surfaces must free of dust and grease. Clean with for example Cleaning Solution -D 009 401 04-.
  • Clean the surfaces on the body with a water/isopropyl mixture, (for example Cleaning Solution -009 401 04-) or with tap water and 2 or 3 drops of dish washer detergent.
  • Peel off the backing and moisten the entire adhesive surface.
  • Position the foil evenly and centered to the edges.
  • Press on the foil from the center toward the wheels so that the water film under the foil gets pressed out.
  • This prevents bubbles from forming.
  • If there are any bubble, use a needle to piece them and let the air out.
