Laying cables
A
NOTICE! Risk of damage!
To prevent damage, when drilling ensure that there is suffi-
cient space on the other side for the drill head to come out.
Cables and connections which are not properly installed will
cause malfunctions or damage to components. Correct instal-
lation of cables and connections is the basic prerequisite for
lasting and trouble-free operation of the retrofitted compo-
nents.
The cables may not be exposed for long periods to solvents
such as benzine, as the solvents can damage the cable.
Please observe the following instructions:
As far as possible, use original openings or alternative openings for the
connecting cable duct, e.g. the paneling edges, ventilation grilles or blank
panels. If no openings are available, you must drill holes for the cables.
Check beforehand that there is sufficient room for the drill head to come
out on the other side.
Wherever possible lay cables inside the vehicle, as they are better
protected inside than outside the vehicle.
If you do need to lay a cable outside the vehicle, ensure that it is well
secured (use additional cable ties, insulating tape, etc.).
To prevent damage to the cables, when laying them ensure that there is
sufficient distance to hot or moving vehicle components (exhaust pipes,
drive shafts, light systems, fans, heater etc.). Use corrugated piping or
other protective materials to protect against mechanical wear.
Screw on the plug connections of the connecting cables to protect against
water penetration (fig. g, page 6).
When laying electric connections, ensure that
– They are not kinked or twisted
– They do not rub on edges
– They are not laid in sharp edged ducts without protection (fig. 3,
page 3)
Attach the cables securely in the vehicles to prevent tripping hazards.
Use cable binders, insulating tape or glue the cables in place.
