WARNING: Follow safety instructions for working on vehicles with airbag systems (risk of injury).

IMPORTANT: Take care when handling sharp-edged tools and cutting wire (risk of damage to head airbag and window glass).







IMPORTANT:
Always keep both suction cups dry and clean to ensure their optimum adhesion on the windscreen.
Lubricate spool if lock rattling becomes too loud.
Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves for your own safety.

Mounting suction cup lifters on windscreen or rear window:







- Secure position of suction cup lifters as shown:
1. Suction cup lifter with double spool
2. Suction cup lifter with single spool
3. Window
4. Cutting wire







Preparatory work:
- Cut off required cutting wire length:
Length = 6 x window glass diagonal

- The cutting wire loops must lie on top of each other in area (B).
They must not get caught up in each other. (Otherwise no possibility of cutting the adhesive bead/wire will break.)
Overlapping of cutting wire loops approx. 10 cm.
Distance from right window edge approx. 30 cm.







Pulling cutting wire into vehicle:
- Cut off wire end (1) at an angle and pierce adhesive bead (2) with it.
- Wire end must be bent towards window glass.

Laying cutting wire around window glass:
- Starting from pull-in point, lay wire eyelet created on the outside around the window glass
- Pull excess wire into passenger compartment







IMPORTANT:
Make sure the cutting wire is located at all four corner points below the window glass.
Check that the cutting wire is not caught on clamps or body.
Secure window glass on outside with adhesive tape against sliding.







NOTE:
Window glass (1) with installed seals (3) or moulded-on surrounds:
- Moisten cutting wire (4) and seals (3) on window glass (1) with water
- Insert cutting wire (4) in bend (without kinking) between window glass (1) and body aperture (2)







Protecting vehicle passenger compartment:
- To avoid damage and possible dirt contamination, protect A-pillars, roof and dashboard trim panel (3) by means of plastic washer (1)
- Always carry plastic washer (1) between respective wire (2) being tightened and trim panel components







Attaching wire in hoisting winch with double coil:
- Bend over cutting wire end (1) and insert into slot of spool (2)
- Repeat process with other end of wire (1) and second spool (2)
- Wind cutting wire (1) onto spools by hand until cutting wire (1) is under slight tension

Starting the dismantling:


NOTE: Spools can only be rotated in one direction.







- Make sure the wire is always situated in the guide channel of the suction cup lifter (1)
- Fit reversible ratchet onto top spool shaft (2) and tighten wire
- Start by cutting lower adhesive bead
- At the end of the cutting process, the two wire loops join up at the lifting winch (1)
