SERVICE KIT NUMBER: XC25-19562-AA

PREPARATION

NOTE:
THIS KIT CAN BE USED ON UP TO 24 VEHICLES. RETAIN BRUSHES AND ETCHING CREAM UNTIL ALL STENCILS HAVE BEEN USED OR ALL VEHICLES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.

1. Wear rubber or neoprene gloves and safety glasses.

2. Perform work in a well-ventilated area.

3. Use drop cloth or equivalent to protect hood and leaf screen from accidental drips/spillage of etching cream.

CAUTION:
Failure to allow windshield to reach from room temperature will affect transfer of stencil and could neutralize etching cream.

4. Allow windshield to reach room temperature (approximately 70° F).

CAUTION:
Moisture or windshield will neutralize etching cream.

5. Clean and dry outside surface of windshield, in area around trademark.

APPLICATION OF STENCIL

1. Remove the white backing sheet from the frosted AS1, blue field stencil.

2. Position AS1 stencil on windshield as follows:





^ Select proper location for AS1 stencil from examples shown in Figure 1.





^ Place stencil on outside surface of windshield with blue (tacky) side touching windshield. See figure 2.





3. With smooth, even strokes, firmly rub over entire blue area of stencil. See Figure 3. Rub across stencil, then from top to bottom of stencil. DO NOT DIG INTO THE STENCIL.

The entire blue field of the stencil will transfer from the sheet to the windshield. (During this process you will see the sheet turning to clear as the stencil transfers.)





4. Slowly peel back clear top sheet. See Figure 4. The AS1 lettering and surrounding blue field should remain on windshield.

If the entire blue field did not transfer to the windshield, remove the blue field with luke warm water. Make sure the windshield is completely dry and at room temperature (approximately 70°F), then return to Step 1 of the "APPLICATION OF STENCIL."

APPLICATION OF ETCHING CREAM

1. Shake/stir etching cream thoroughly.

WARNING:
DO NOT GET ETCHING CREAM OUTSIDE BLUE FIELD OF THE STENCIL, AS DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD WILL OCCUR.





2. Using brush, cover AS1 lettering with a thick layer of etching cream. See Figure 5. Use 2-3 vertical and 2-3 horizontal strokes to ensure complete coverage of the AS1 letters.

3. Leave etching cream on windshield for ONE (1) MINUTE ONLY. The AS1 lettering will blur if etching cream is left on the windshield longer than one (1) minute.

4. Wash off etching cream with a damp cloth or paper towel and luke warm water.

5. After all traces of etching cream have been washed away, clean windshield with glass cleaner to remove any remaining stencil pieces.

CLEAN UP

1. Continue to wear protective gear during clean-up.

2. Clean brushes with luke warm water.

3. Dispose of unused or empty etching cream container in accordance with state and local regulations after all stencils have been used.
