Preparation for installation Citysphere S 2.5. Fastening drill holes The air-conditioning unit is fastened to the vehicle’s shell with nuts (M8) and matching washers. For this purpose, corresponding stable retaining plates/bows must be provided on the shell. We suggest making the drill holes sufficiently large or long to compensate for the frame tolerances.
Citysphere S Preparation for installation 2.6. Cleaning the vehicle’s roof and the AC unit Once all cut-outs and drill holes are made on the vehicle’s roof the areas must be cleaned with compressed air. Roughen bonding area of the base pan and the roof surface according to the adhesive joint, clean with Sika Cleaner, and preprocess with Sika Primer (follow product information).
