4.9 Route the Main Cable
Consider the following guidelines before routing the cable assembly.
CAUTION Ensure the power cable will not be pinched, kinked or worn
down by any objects or moving parts such as the door hinges. It
is very important to secure the cable at many points along its
path.
CAUTION Prior to working on any cabling, ensure
that the terminal is powered off and
will not start while work is in progress.

Do not route the cable near the engine if routing through the engine compartment.
This location will subject the cable to extreme heat.

Keep the cable away from hot surfaces such as exhaust pipes as this may damage the
cable.

Do not run the cable over sharp or jagged edges.

Place the cable in recesses and channels, whenever possible, to prevent potential
damage or wear by foot traffic.
Note: Remember to leave enough cable slack near the terminal for strain relief so as
not to introduce any additional force on the connector. SkyWave recommends
securing the cables during installation.
