Prepare the Cover Frame

NOTE If the cover frame needs to be turned by 180 for a better fit, the cover frame will have to be reworked on the inside along the marking (9). Example, MAN TGA: Compare the marked section (1) on the inside of the cover frame O with the interior lights. Record any different measurements. Cut out segment (1) and insert the interior lights. Remove the extension.

Example, Iveco Stralis: Check the perforation (1) dimensions on the inside of the cover frame P before cutting it out and adjust as necessary. Cut out the perforation (1).

5.7

Install the Cover Frames


Select the cover frame.

NOTE Select the cover frame according to the size of the roof cutout. If the cover frame O or P is required, this must be placed on the cover frame S. Any gaps between the interior paneling on the roof and the cover frame can be readjusted with the M6 hex nuts. Screw the cover frame onto the air distribution plate with the hex screws (1). Place the caps (2) on the M6 hex screws (1) and the M6 hex nuts.

5.8

Lay cable set


Properly fasten the cables with cable ties and selfadhesive sockets. Attach tension reliefs.

CAUTION! Check for the correct polarity before connecting. Switching the polarity will destroy the electronic controls. NOTE On vehicles with a tilting drivers cabin, the cable set leading to the battery must be run over the tilting point. If necessary, extend the lines.
