6.11.4 Install Cables

11.

Place the cables in an insulated sheath with a heat rating of 280˚C /

535˚F. See Figure 6-24.

Figure 6-24 Place cables into insulated sheath

12. Attach the sheathed cables securely to the wiring channel.

See Figure 6-25.

Figure 6-25 Attach cables to wiring channel

IMPORTANT

The cables must

not

be allowed to touch the manifold or other heated

components.

13. Continue assembly with the clamp plate.
