GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL INSTRUCTION

This publication is designed to help you the body repair technician with your specialized work. Vehicle bodywork has changed a great deal over the years. As vehicles have developed technically, vehicle bodywork has also had to meet new requirements with design, changes to reconcile apparently conflicting demands to name just a few examples:
The durability and ease of repair of the bodywork also plays an important part.
Nowadays, the use of highly automated production equipment makes it possible to maintain the tightest tolerances and thus ensure a high level of quality.
When bodywork is damaged, the customer rightly expects it to be expertly repaired to the same quality standards.
At the same time, for his safety, the customer expects you to have comprehensive knowledge of materials, measuring and straightening methods, possible distortion, optimum corrosion prevention and much more besides.
This publication is designed to help you update your knowledge and give you an idea of what you require to rectify moderate or severe accident damage, for your own safety and for the satisfaction of your customers.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

BEFORE BEGINNING WORK

DURING WORK

BODY SAFETY

Modern stressed-skin bodies are designed so as to have a sturdy passenger cell protected by front and rear crumple zones.

When repairing body damage, it is therefore imperative to restore the original structure and strength in order to guarantee the safety of the occupants.

LOADS ON BODY PARTS

Therefore, with modern DAEWOO bodies, one talks of highly stressed and less highly stressed parts.

SUMMARY

ZINC TREATED STEEL PLATE REPAIR

The zinc plated steel plate used in some panels of the EVANDA requires different repair techniques than ordinary steel plate.

  1. Before spot welding the zinc plated steel plate, remove the paint from both sides of the flange to be welded. Apply sealer to the flange after welding.
  2. Caution : To prevent eye injury, wear goggles or safety glasses whenever sanding, cutting or grinding.

    Note : Seal the sanded surfaces thoroughly to prevent rust.
  3. The electric continuity properties of zinc plated steel plate is different from ordinary steel plate. When spot welding, increase the current by 10-20%, or increase the resistance welding time.
  4. Increase the number of weld spots by 10-20% also.
  5. Note : The MIG welding procedures for zinc plated steel plate are the same as for ordinary steel plate.

    Caution : To prevent eye injury and burns when welding, wear an approved welding helmet, gloves and safety shoes.

  6. Before applying putty or body filler to the zinc plated steel plate, sand the zinc plating thoroughly to promote adhesion and prevent blistering.
  7. Note : Use only epoxy-based putties and fillers on zinc plated steel plate.
