minutes for the adhesive to set before testing the bond.
Firmly pull up on the MT/Bracket assembly, to verify a secure
bond to the roof of the trailer, before releasing the trailer into
service.
10. Install the tether guard over the tether. Orient the guard with
the raised section over the tether and the VHB tape section toward the
front of the trailer. Remove the plastic film from the Tether Guard

any contamination will impede the bond strength.
Carefully place the Tether Guard, over the Tether, on the roof.
Firmly push down, back and forth several times, along the entire
length of the Tether Guard.
