GETO® City Body Kit
with self-supporting base and side access
Assembly Instructions
Screw or rivet the integral step to the side
wall. Continue with the second side wall in
the same way as for the first side wall.
(Fig. 21)
Fig. 21
Installing the rear frame
Please note: The rear wall is not
installed in the same way as the
bulkhead to the side walls:
As the area around the door has been
designed without a sill, i.e. a floor without
an abutting edge, the rear wall and floor
support slide under the floor panel. They
are attached in the usual way, starting in the
corner pillars and then moving on to the
roof. (Not illustrated)
Check that the rubber piping in the corner
post profile is undamaged and correctly
fitted. (Fig. 22)

Clean the inside of the side rave using
GETO PUR Cleaner 2. Apply GETO PUR 52
adhesive to the floor panel and install the
rear wall as described above. (Fig. 23)
Fig. 23
Once this is installed, fit the supplied angle
brackets on the inside left and right of the
rear doors in order to connect the floor
panel to the rear wall. (Fig. 24)
Fig. 24
Roof
Check that the rubber piping in the roof
profile is undamaged and correctly fitted.
Using GETO PUR Cleaner 2, clean the inside
of all four roof corner caps as well as the top
of the rear frame and the top corners of the
bulkhead and side walls. Apply GETO PUR
21 sealant to the corners of the body as well
as the front and rear corner caps.
Fig. 25
Place the roof on the assembly. Make sure
that the roof is properly positioned and
secure it using C clamps. To ensure that the
roof slots snugly onto the rear frame, place
e.g. a beam at the back and across the roof
connection profile and clamp it in place
using C clamps. (Fig. 25)

80 bar max.
Minimum distance between sheeting and nozzle: 30 cm
pH value:
between 2 and 10
