Replacement Parts
Special Aluminum alloys are used for the body.
The Aluminum body undergoes hardening at the manufacturer after assembly. This necessitates a temperature of 205 degrees C for 30 minutes.
As hardening of the body is not possible with workshop equipment, the replacement parts are supplied pre-hardened.
When performing repairs use only genuine parts and also observe the specified repair methods.
CAUTION: Do not store specially coated fasteners with steel fasteners.
