>>H<< Control Housing Installation

CAUTION: Squeeze sealant onto the case. Do not leave gaps or excess amounts, otherwise oil leaks are likely.

Completely degrease the FIPG-applied surface so that water and oil including the old sealant cannot adhere to the surface coated with the sealant.
Never touch the degreased surface by hand.
Apply a 1.5 mm (0.06 inch) diameter bead of sealant (Mitsubishi Part number MD997740 or equivalent) as illustrated onto the control housing.
NOTE: Be sure to install the housing to the case quickly while the sealant is still wet.
