NOTICE
If separating cuts are made too deep, underlying reinforcement could be damaged.
– Only make separating cuts with body saw.
– Rewelding of reinforcements is not permitted due to safety reasons.
NOTICE
If welds are positioned too far on outside, strength could be impaired
– RP weld points must be placed as far as possible from outer edge of welding flange.
NOTICE
If adhesive is applied prematurely, bond could be impaired
