- All wires must be securely fixed and protected from sharp edges. Always use
grommets or other wear protection when wiring wires through metallic ele
-
ments. This will help to prevent short circuits caused by friction damage.
Fig. 7-159 LCV_SPBGC72_001 Different kinds of wiring protection
- It is recommended that clearance should be left between moving or vibrating
parts.
- Wires should never pass along brake pipes, fuel pipes or grease pipes. They
must not interfere with the movement of flexible tubes.
- The new wire routing should never pass through areas where it may be
assumed that it damage can occur due to mud, accumulation of snow, freezing,
or flying stones.
- Wires should be placed more than 200 mm away from exhaust system elements
such as tail pipes and mufflers. Otherwise, they should be protected by heat
insulators.
- When wiring inside the engine compartment, wires should pass directly through
the same route as the chassis harnesses already installed in this area. They
must be protected by heat insulators if necessary.
- The wires should be positioned at least to 50 mm from containers of chemical
agents, such as batteries.
- The wires must be long enough to ensure they are not subjected to tension.
- The distance between two consecutive fixations of wires should not exceed
300 mm.
- When installing additional equipment in the vehicle, it must be connected to a
vehicle earth point. See chapter 7.3.4 "Earth wire".
- The original installation should be restored after any interventions on the orig
-
inal wire route.
