Installation Instructions for Fabric Gaskets
1. General information
- The fabric gasket must only be installed by trained specialists.
- The fabric gasket may only be used under the specified operating conditions.
- Fabric gaskets must be handled with particular care. Kinks or sharp bends in the fabric must be avoided at all costs.
2. Preparing the sealing surface and installation
- The sealing surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned: they must be dry, free of dust and oil, and free of residues from old seals.
- Position the seal precisely in the intended groove without stretching or twisting it.
- During installation, ensure that the visible end of the gasket is placed on the flat sealing surface or in the bottom of the groove.
Note: Fabric seals are not reusable. For safe operation, they must be replaced after each disassembly.
