Notes on the electrical connections

7.1 Laying cables
A
NOTICE! Risk of damage!
• To prevent damage, when drilling ensure that there is sufficient
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 installation of
cables and connections is the basic prerequisite for lasting and
trouble-free operation of the retrofitted components.
• The cables may not be exposed for long periods to solvents such as
benzine, as the solvents can damage the cable.
Please therefore 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
there than outside.
If you do need to lay a cable outside the vehicle, ensure that it is well fastened
(use additional cable ties, insulating tape etc.).
• To prevent damage to the cables, when laying them, ensure that they are far
enough away from 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. 0, page 5).
• When laying the cables, make sure:
– They are not kinked or twisted
– They do not rub on edges
– They are not laid through sharp-edged ducts without protection (fig. 3,
page 4).
• Attach the cables securely in the vehicles to prevent tripping hazards. Use cable
binders, insulating tape or glue the cables in place.
