Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the component(s) most susceptible to radiant heat, typically the starter motor and solenoid.
- Position the DEI Versa Shield around the component, ensuring it is not obstructing any moving parts.
- Use the integrated hook and loop closure to secure the shield snugly.
- If necessary, trim the shield using sharp scissors or a utility knife to achieve a custom fit. Ensure trimmed edges are clean.
Compatibility:
This heat shield is designed to be compatible with most starter motors and solenoids found in automotive applications. It can also be used to protect carburetors, fuse boxes, fuel pumps, and other sensitive electrical components in the engine bay. Its dimensions (24" x 7") allow for versatility, but custom trimming may be required for exceptionally compact engine bays.
Care:
To maintain the effectiveness of the Versa Shield, periodically inspect it for damage or degradation. Clean the aluminised surface with a damp cloth if it becomes dirty, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the reflective coating. Ensure the hook and loop closure remains secure.
