Fold the conductive tape tightly inside
the module half from one side.
14
Separate the plastic film from the con-
ductive tape and fold it to the side.
15
Fold the conductive tape on the other
side tightly inside the module half.
16
Fold the plastic film back inside the
module half.
17
Lubricate the sealing surfaces of all
modules. Do not lubricate the plastic
film.
18
Lubricate the sealing surfaces of the
spare modules. Do not remove the
core.
19
Lubricate the sealing surfaces of the
solid modules.
