2.4 Sensor Cover Installation
2.4.1 Cover Seal Installation
Note: The seals to be installed on each cover half must seal on each
other when the cover halves are assembled. Also, the crossing seals
(start and stop ends) must be on opposite sides of the cover when
installed.
Remove a short length of the adhesive backing covering on the joint
seal strip to expose the adhesive. Apply the joint seal strip starting at
a middle of either the top or bottom cover half such that it curves
partially around the inside of a bolt hole on the flange. Continue to
install the seal material on the flange so that it runs just inside the
inner edge of the flange bolt holes. At the last hole on the flange side
(see picture) install the seal in a straight line toward the face seal.
Wrap around the end of the flange face and install the seal along the
outer edge of the face seal. Continue installing seal around cover
flanges and end seals. Cross the starting end of the seal with the end
point as shown in the figure below.
