>>A<< DOOR SASH TAPES INSTALLATION

CAUTION

• The ambient temperature should be 20(68° F) to 

30

° C(86° F). Ensure that the working area is clean. Ide-

ally, the tape application should be done at ambient 
temperature 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(68) 
to 30

° C(86° F). If ambient temperature is 35° C(95° F) or 

higher, cool down them. The adhesive property of the 
tape is deteriorated at low temperature, so the tape may 
come loose easily. Meanwhile, it gets softened at hot 
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.

• Use the special tool MB990528 to apply the tape with a 

steady pace and pressure. If you do not apply the tape 
with a steady pace or pressure, or abort the application, 
a shallow groove (lateral groove called as "Shock line") 
may be present on the tape surface. Meanwhile, if you 
apply it too quickly, air bubbles may be formed under 
the tape.

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

special tool.

2. Use white gasoline to degrease the tape application surface.
3. Wipe away dirt from the tape.
