Prepare D.G.L.’s by installing sealing material to the internal side of the mating flange, carefully locate D.G.L.’s into subframe and locate locking screws and tighten until correct level and the alignment is attached.
After final alignment, carefully tighten the D.G.L.’s until an airtightness is achieved.
Before leaving each installation of a D.G.L. ensure it is undamaged, clean and screws are tight.
