Instead of a tunnel in two parts a
one part tube can be laminated as
well.

After installation of the tunnel the
middle part can be cut out.
Place the clamps temporarily on the

mm.
First place the plastic slabs on top of the rubber sleeves and then
place the clamping straps over these parts.
Tighten the bolts of the clamping straps just enough that the plastic
slabs remain in place.

A difference in diameter between the tunnel tube and the Rimdrive
may occur due to tolerances on the tunnel tubes.
Use the narrow rubber sleeves to overcome this difference.

The ends of the tunnel must be
smooth and entirely free from weld
spatter or polyester or epoxy resi-
dues over a length of at least 10 cm.
Check this thoroughly!
This is necessary in order to obtain a
good watertight connection of the
RimDrive on to the tunnel.
Apply on the tube ends a silicone-
free lubricant.
A lubricant for woodworking ma-
chines is extremely suitable.

Place the rubber sleeves on the
tube ends.

Steel and aluminium tunnels must be treated with a complete paint
system in order to prevent galvanic corrosion of the Rimdrive.
Place the Rim Drive between the tube ends.
Apply a temporary support under the Rimdrive or use a hoist in order
to keep them in the right place.
