4) Insert the system side bar.
5) Fasten with 501T7=7.5x9xM5 oval head screws.

3 to 4 hours.
INFORMATION: Final bonding strength will be reached after
16 hours.
Connecting the lock lever
The lock levers can be connected to one another if simultaneous triggering
of the two 17Y57 lock levers is required. Connect the lock levers with a trac­
tion element (e.g. elastic strap) to permit engaging in the lock plate.
1) The 17Y53 connection tube must be used for lock lever welds and solder
joints.
2) Make sure that the locking mechanism is triggered simultaneously.

After contact with water containing salt, chlorine or soap, or when they get
