CAUTION

Pay attention to keep from getting burned by hot

CAUTION

• The ambient temperature should be 20 to 

30

°C. Ensure that the working area is clean. 

Ideally, the tape application should be done at 
ambient temperature of 25

°C.

• If ambient temperature is less than 15°C, heat 

the tape and application surface to a tempera-
ture of 20 to 30

°C. Alternatively, allow it to 

cool if it is 35

°C or more. The adhesive prop-

erty of the tape is deteriorated at low tempera-
ture, so the tape may come adrift easily. 
Meanwhile, the tape will be softened exces-
sively at high temperature.

• When beginning to apply the tape, pay partic-

ular attention. If the end of the tape cannot be 
applied to the specified position with an accu-
racy of less than 1 mm, it may cause the poor 
appearance or adhesion.

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 (lat-
eral 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 fibre) around the tip of 

the special tool.

2. Use Parts Cleaner (MZ100387 or equivalent) to 

degrease the tape application surface.

3. Wipe away dirt from the tape.
