Before starting adhesive work, note that the optimum processing temperature of materials to be glued
and the adhesive sealant is b15 °C und +25 °C. Prepare all necessary fastening elements and
tools.
•
Prepare the tube of adhesive sealant in accordance with the instructions enclosed with the tube.
•
Remove the roof gland (Fig. A) and apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the roof gland
fl ange.
Replace the roof gland in the drilled hole and press it fi rmly against the roof of the vehicle.
•
Apply the adhesive sealant evenly to the underside of the mounting plate, completely covering the area
within the circular groove (Fig. D).
This area of the vehicle roof must be completely coated with adhesive in order to achieve the necessary
bonding force.
Place the mounting plate on the roof of the vehicle, as you did previously when marking out the drilled
holes.
Make sure that the arrow on the mounting plate points forward in the direction of travel.
The fastening holes must be perfectly aligned with the prepared holes in the roof.
•
Fasten the mounting plate in place with the prepared screws, evenly tightening all ten screws across the
diagonals.
Note:
The adhesive sealant used is capable of bridging small gaps arising from the curve of the
vehicle‘s roof. However, you should ensure that the mounting plate is not bent by tightening
the screws.
•
Remove any adhesive sealant that leaks out at the sides with a clean cloth or if necessary with Sikafl ex®
Remover (available from specialist dealers). Do not use a cleaning agent or thinner containing solvents,
as this could damage the adhesive sealant applied under the mounting plate. Use only hand cleaning
paste and water to clean your hands.
•
Secure the cable gland from inside the vehicle by tightening the knurled nut supplied (Fig. A).
•
Note that the curing of the adhesive sealant depends on the ambient temperature and the humidity.
Final strength is reached after approx. fi ve days. However, this need not restrict further installation work,
since the mounting plate is held in place by the tightened screws.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
VARIANT WITH CABLE GLAND UNDERNEATH THE TURNTABLE
•
Lay the cables supplied with the turntable (2 × coax cables and 1 x power supply cable) into the mounting
plate as indicated by the markings on the mounting plate (see Fig. E1), and feed the remaining lengths
of cable through the roof gland into the interior of the motor home/caravan.
