FAQ

What exactly is the purpose/function of this component?
The identification decal indicates functions, warning notices, or switch positions at the intended installation location, thereby providing operating and safety information. It has no active function within the system but is relevant for clear identification.

How can you tell if it’s defective? What are the typical symptoms?
Defects are indicated by illegibility, peeling, cracks, or missing markings after cleaning, UV exposure, or painting. This increases the risk of operating errors or a lack of safety information.

How do you inspect or test the component?
Check for legibility, complete symbolism, adhesive strength, and correct positioning on a clean, smooth surface. Dimensional accuracy and alignment are important if the decal is referenced to markings or control elements.

When should it be replaced?
It should be replaced if it is illegible, has peeled off, or after the substrate has been disassembled or painted. Preventive replacement is advisable as soon as warning or operating instructions are no longer clearly recognizable.

How do you check compatibility?
Key factors include the OEM number, text or symbol version, dimensions, language, color scheme, and installation position. Left- and right-side variants, as well as boat- or engine-specific labels, must also match.
