3.3 Harness
3.3.1 Sealed Connectors
The provided sealed weather-proof plug includes a grey locking device which must be released to separate the
connectors. Press the tab on the connector housing to release the connectors.
WARNING
CATTRON DOES NOT RECOMMEND USING DIELECTRIC GREASE OR SEALANT WITH SEALED
CONNECTORS. THESE CHEMICALS MAY CAUSE SEAL DAMAGE AND ALLOW WATER ENTRY.
USE CATTRON PROVIDED CAVITY PLUGS TO SEAL THE CONNECTOR IF WIRES ARE
REMOVED.
3.3.2 Unsealed Connectors
For unsealed connectors exposed to the elements, Cattron recommends using dielectric grease to protect
contacts.
WARNING
CATTRON DOES NOT RECOMMEND USING SEALANT WITH UNSEALED CONNECTORS.
SEALANT TRAPS MOISTURE IN THE CONNECTOR AND ENCOURAGES CORROSION.
3.3.3 Harness Routing
The minimum routing radius of the wiring harnesses should be at least two times the diameter of the wiring
harness. Bends should be avoided within 1 inch (25 mm) of any connector in order to avoid seal distortion and
potentially allowing moisture to enter the connector.
Note:
For a harness length in excess of 10 ft, a relay must be added to the start solenoid circuit
.
A relay may also be required for the fuel run/stop solenoid.
Cattron offers starter relay kits for mounting near the engine.
