REMOVAL SERVICE POINT

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT

.

>>A<< DOOR SASH TAPES INSTALLATION

CAUTION

• The ambient temperature should be 20 − 30 °C(68 −

86

°F). Ensure that the working area is clean. Ideally, the

tape application should be done at ambient tempera-
ture of 25

°C(77°F).

• If ambient temperature is less than 15°C(59°F, heat the

tape and application surface to a temperature of 20

− 30

°C(68 − 86°F). Alternatively, allow it to cool if it is

35

°C(95°F) or higher. The adhesive property of the tape

is deteriorated at low temperature, so the tape may
come adrift easily. Meanwhile, the tape will be softened
excessively at high temperature.

• When beginning to apply the tape, pay particular atten-

tion. If the end of the tape cannot be applied to the
specified position with an accuracy of less than 1
mm(0.04 in), it may cause the poor appearance or adhe-
sion.

• When using the special tool, stripe tape spatula

(MB990528) to apply the tape, be sure to move it
steadily, evenly and without interruption. If you fail to
do so, a groove (usually known as shock line) may be
left on the tape surface. Meanwhile, if you move it too
slowly, air bubble may be left inside the tape. Keep
even pressure, constant speed and steady application
angle when moving the special tool.

1. Wrap a soft cloth (synthetic fiber) around the tip of the

special tool.

2. Use 3M

™ AAD Part number 8906 or equivalent to clean the

tape application surfaces.

3. Wipe away dirt from the tape.
