2. Mounting of the assembly plate
After the final mounting location for the unit has now been established
and you have again verified the correct position in relation to the driving
direction, mark the corner points of the assembly plate.
Attention!
Additionally, it is absolutely mandatory to mark with a line the assembly
plate and the vehicle roof in order to exclude a directionally wrong
assembly. The Oyster can be attached only in one position on the
assembly plate. Thereby the LNB must show toward the rear of the
vehicle. Every other position of the unit is incorrect and causes expiring of
the guarantee.
Now remove the system from the assembly plate by means of the four
assembly nuts.
The assembly plate is to be glued to the vehicle roof with commercially
available body sealing compound, and afterwards bolted. For the
cleaning of assembly plate and roof, please use a special cleaning agent
which is recommended by the manufacturer of the body sealing
compound (e.g. Sikaflex, Teroson 1K-Pur). After ventilating of the
cleaner, apply the sealing compound to the bottom of the assembly plate,
and after setting it on the roof bolt it with the included tapping screws (see
drawing).
