- Work safety when handling lubricant G13*
- Wear safety goggles, protective gloves and if necessary an apron.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke in the area of processing/application
- Ensure rooms are well ventilated.
- Keep heat and ignition sources well away
- In event of skin contact: Wash areas of skin affected with soap and water immediately, change work clothing which has been fouled with lubricant immediately (keep spare work clothing in reserve)
- In event of eye contact: Rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice
- General notes
- Use only the BMW-approved lubricant for fitting
- Application only at room and object temperatures between 18 and 25 °C
- Lubricant dries at different rates depending on the quantity, temperature and ventilation and becomes sticky
- Lubricant can only be used for fitting and not for fault elimination (e.g. grating)
- Newly painted parts may only be brought into contact with the lubricant after cooling
- Optimal bonding/attachment to the background surface is achieved after approx. 48 hours. The window guide seal must not be exposed to mechanical strain beforehand (car wash, strength test, etc.).
IMPORTANT: To avoid grating noises, do not use soapy water (low-surface-tension water with washing-up liquid) or lubricant containing silicone - Auxiliary materials and tools
- CLEANING AGENT R1 OR CLEANING AGENT R2 , cleaning cloth, plastic scraper, needle
