maintain a distance of 40 mm from the system.
➤
Put the strain relief on the threaded bolt.
➤
Secure the strain relief with a second M8 nut (half height).
➤
Stick the profile seal supplied 25 x 25 mm into the cavity provided on

Installing the roof air conditioner
I
Note
Make sure the roof air conditioner is centred perfectly. Apply a flexible
non-hardening butyl sealing compound (e.g. Sika Lastomer-710) to the
seal before inserting it. The seal must be applied continuously around the
roof air conditioner after placing it on the roof of the vehicle. This is the
only way to ensure a tight seal.
➤
Lift the roof air conditioner onto the roof of the vehicle.
Observe the direction of travel (arrow, fig.
1
, page 2).
a
Caution – risk of damage

Note
The roof of the vehicle can be reinforced (e.g. with a wooden frame) if the
load-bearing capacity of the roof is insufficient.
