Removal
NOTE:
The water drain panel is constructed of mild steel and may
be sectioned provided sectioning is done 50 mm or more from hinge mount
and restraint anchoring points. Adjust to meet repair needs.
NOTE:
Factory welds may be substituted with resistance or metal
inert gas (MIG) plug welds. Resistance welds may not be placed directly
over original location. They must be placed adjacent to original
location and match factory welds in quantity. Metal inert gas (MIG) plug
welds must equal factory welds in both location and quantity.
NOTE:
Left hand (LH) side shown, right hand (RH) side similar.
NOTE:
Adequately protect all adjacent areas against cutting, grinding and welding procedures.
