STEP 3
Prior to installing the
SKYMAXX ROOFLIGHT
over the roof
opening, apply
a continuous strip of butyl tape or equivalent to
the underside of the flange in the grooved space.
CAUTION!
When installing your
SKYMAXX
ROOFLIGHT
,
only use a caulking/sealant compatible with the flange (plastic
product) and the roof surface. DO NOT use materials
containing solvents such as or similar to Xylene, Toluene,
Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), Acetate or Acetone as they can
damage the flange. Also, Polysulfide (Thiokol) type sealants
must be avoided.
If in doubt, please contact the manufacturer of your caravan for
further information.
STEP 4
Insert the
SKYMAXX ROOFLIGHT
into the roof opening with the
hinged section facing the front of the vehicle with the ceiling
flange centered in the opening. Press down on the flange to
compress the BUTYL sealant to seal to the roof.
STEP 5
After the
SKYMAXX ROOFLIGHT
has been installed, remove
the excess BUTYL caulk that may have squeezed out. Using a
sealer such as Dicor self-leveling lap sealant or similar caulking,
apply a bead (approximately 5 mm dia.) along the outside edge
of the flange all the way around the Rooflight.
