2. ഇൻസ്റ്റലേഷൻ

Proper installation is crucial for the appearance and adhesion of your new hood decal. Follow these steps carefully:

2.1. ആവശ്യമായ ഉപകരണങ്ങളും വസ്തുക്കളും

• വൃത്തിയുള്ളതും ലിനില്ലാത്തതുമായ തുണികൾ
• Rubbing alcohol or a mild degreaser
• Spray bottle with water and a few drops of mild soap (optional, for wet application)
• Squeegee or credit card (wrapped in a soft cloth)
• മാസ്കിംഗ് ടേപ്പ്
• അളക്കുന്ന ടേപ്പ്

2.2. ഉപരിതല തയ്യാറാക്കൽ

1. ഉപരിതലം വൃത്തിയാക്കുക: Thoroughly clean the tractor hood surface where the decal will be applied. Use rubbing alcohol or a mild degreaser to remove all dirt, grease, wax, and debris.
2. കഴുകി ഉണക്കുക: Rinse the area with clean water and dry it completely with a lint-free cloth. Ensure no moisture remains.
3. താപനില: For best results, apply the decal in a clean, dust-free environment with temperatures between 60°F and 80°F (15°C and 27°C).

2.3. Decal Application (Dry Method - Recommended for smaller decals)

1. സ്ഥാനനിർണ്ണയം: Carefully place the decal on the desired area without removing the backing paper. Use masking tape to temporarily hold it in place and step back to check alignment. Adjust as needed.
2. Hinge Method: Once positioned, apply a strip of masking tape across the center of the decal, creating a hinge. This will hold the decal in place while you work on one half.
3. Remove Backing (First Half): Peel back the backing paper from one side of the hinge, cutting it off cleanly.
4. Apply Decal (First Half): Starting from the hinge, slowly and carefully apply the decal to the surface. Use a squeegee or credit card (wrapped in cloth) to smooth out the decal, working from the center outwards to prevent air bubbles.
5. Remove Hinge and Backing (Second Half): Remove the masking tape hinge. Peel back the remaining backing paper from the other side.
6. Apply Decal (Second Half): Repeat the smoothing process for the second half, working from the center outwards.
7. Final Smoothing: Once the entire decal is applied, firmly rub over the entire surface with the squeegee to ensure maximum adhesion and remove any remaining small bubbles.
8. ക്യൂറിംഗ് സമയം: Allow the decal to cure for at least 24-48 hours before washing the tractor or exposing it to harsh conditions.

2.4. Decal Application (Wet Method - Optional, for larger decals or beginners)

1. പരിഹാരം തയ്യാറാക്കുക: Mix water with a few drops of mild soap in a spray bottle.
2. Spray Surface: Lightly spray the cleaned application surface with the soap solution.
3. ബാക്കിംഗ് നീക്കംചെയ്യുക: Carefully peel the entire backing paper from the decal.
4. Spray Adhesive Side: Lightly spray the adhesive side of the decal with the soap solution.
5. സ്ഥാനനിർണ്ണയം: Place the decal onto the wet surface. The solution allows you to slide and reposition the decal until it's perfectly aligned.
6. Squeegee Water: Once positioned, use a squeegee to gently push the water and air bubbles out from under the decal, working from the center outwards.
7. ഉണക്കി ഉണക്കുക: Allow the decal to dry completely. This may take several hours. Do not touch or disturb the decal during this time. The decal will adhere firmly as the water evaporates.

3. പരിചരണവും പരിപാലനവും

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your GENERIC 1140 Hood Decal, follow these care guidelines:

• വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Wash the decal gently with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or high-pressure washers directly on the decal, as these can damage the material or adhesive.
• പോറലുകൾ ഒഴിവാക്കുക: Be careful not to scratch the decal with sharp objects or abrasive materials.
• Waxing: You may wax over the decal with non-abrasive car wax to protect it, but avoid waxes that contain petroleum distillates or harsh solvents.
• സംഭരണം: If the tractor is stored outdoors, consider covering it to protect the decal from prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays and extreme weather conditions, which can cause fading or cracking over time.

4. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

Here are solutions to common issues that may arise during or after decal application:

• വായു കുമിളകൾ:
  • ചെറിയ കുമിളകൾ: Most small bubbles will dissipate on their own over a few days or weeks as the decal cures.
  • Large Bubbles: For larger, persistent bubbles, you can carefully prick the edge of the bubble with a fine needle and gently press the air out with your thumb or a squeegee.
• Peeling Edges:
  • പ്രയോഗിക്കുന്നതിന് മുമ്പ് ഉപരിതലം നന്നായി വൃത്തിയാക്കി ഉണക്കിയിട്ടുണ്ടെന്ന് ഉറപ്പാക്കുക.
  • Press down firmly on the peeling edge with your thumb or a squeegee. If the issue persists, a small amount of vinyl adhesive can be used, but this should be done with caution.
• തെറ്റായ ക്രമീകരണം:
  • If using the wet method, you can reposition the decal before squeegeeing.
  • For dry application, if misalignment is significant, it may be necessary to carefully peel off the decal and reapply, or replace it if the adhesive is compromised.
