9.2.5 Seal the motor
Extreme caution and attention to cleanliness are vital to installation.
● Clean all bare joints between parts such as housings, bearing shields and bearing bushes
etc., and remove old sealant material.
● Smear bare joints between parts with non-hardening, permanently flexible sealant, such as
"Hylomar M". Follow the manufacturer's application and safety instructions when doing this.
● Check all sealing elements, such as those on the terminal boxes, for elasticity, aging or
damage, and renew them if they are no longer effective.
Replacing seals
1. Replace the seals if necessary with original parts or with tested sealing elements.
2. Completely bond the seals to the motor and the air intake housing. It is impermissible to
have gaps and holes where seals make contact.
3. Surfaces whose mating faces are sealed using liquid sealant can be resealed by applying
the original liquid sealant (Hylomar M).
4. Surfaces whose mating faces are sealed using sealings that adhere to one side only can be
resealed with the original sealing using the original adhesives (Loctite).
