Vetus RimDrive RD125 Instructions D'installation page 28

The ends of the tunnel must be smooth and
entirely free from weld spatter or polyester
or epoxy residues over a length of at least
10 cm.
Check this thoroughly!
This is necessary in order to obtain a good
watertight connection of the RimDrive on to
the tunnel.

ote
Steel and aluminium tunnels must be treated
with a complete paint system in order to pre-
vent galvanic corrosion of the Rimdrive.
Apply on the tube ends a silicone-free lubri-
cant.
A lubricant for woodworking machines is ex-
tremely suitable.
For example: Bison Prof Houtglijmiddel
Waxilit 22-2411
Ivana houtglijmiddel 42066
Bostik® GLIDECOTE®
Place the rubber sleeves on the tube ends.
First place the plastic slabs on top of the
rubber sleeves and then place the clamping
straps over these parts.
Tighten the bolts of the clamping straps just
enough that the plastic slabs remain in place.
n
ote
A difference in diameter between the tunnel
tube and the Rimdrive may occur due to tol-
erances on the tunnel tubes.
Use the narrow rubber sleeves to overcome
this difference.
