5.2.4 Pre-assembly of the roof air conditioner
➤
Screw the M8x160 threaded bolts supplied into the openings provided
on the underside of the system (approx. 18 mm deep).
The threaded bolts supplied can be used for roof thicknesses of
35-50 mm. For roof thicknesses of less than 35 mm, the threaded bolts
must be shortened accordingly.
Example of shortening the bolts:
35 mm (minimum roof thickness) - 25 mm (measured thickness)
= The threaded bolts must be shortened by 10 mm.
➤
Apply locking fluid to the threaded bolts (e. g. Loctite® 243).
➤ Mount the cable strain relief on the threaded bolts near the control
board (see fig. 8 on page 5):
à Screw an M8 nut (half height) onto the threaded bolt - make sure
you maintain a distance of 40 mm from the system.
à Put the strain relief on the threaded bolt.
à Secure the strain relief with a second M8 nut (half height).
➤
Stick the profile seal supplied 25 x 25 mm into the cavity provided on
the underside of the system (see fig. 9 on page 5). The joint edges
must be bevelled and fixed with a flexible non-hardening butyl sealing
compound (e.g. Sika Lastomer-710).
5.2.5 Installing the roof air conditioner
Make sure the roof air conditioner is centred perfectly. Apply a flexible
non-hardening butyl sealing compound (e.g. Sika Lastomer-710) to the
seal before inserting it. The seal must be applied continuously around the
roof air conditioner after placing it on the roof of the vehicle. This is the
only way to ensure a tight seal.
➤
Lift the roof air conditioner onto the roof of the vehicle.
Observe the direction of travel (arrow, see fig. 1 on page 3).
Observe the structural strength of the roof of the vehicle. The roof of the
vehicle must be able to bear the weight of the device. The roof must not be
indented or deformed by the weight of the device, even over a longer
period of time.
