POWER CABLE INFORMATION
A proper crimp is one which does not have an air gap between the cable
and the copper end fittings after crimping. The crimped end fitting shall not
have any cracks.
Proper sized crimping dies shall be used with a hydraulic or manual
crimping tool. Crimping dies which are struck with a hammer are not accept-
able for initial installation, and should be used only in the case of an emer-
gency repair. Heat Shrink tubing is provided and must be installed at each end
fitting.
CRIMPING
For Trucks, route the cable along the chassis frame flange. Use caution
when routing through or around chassis cross members to avoid sharp edges
which could wear through the cable jacket.

For Trailers, clamps are provided in the Trailer Kit and can be bolted to
the trailer cross members. This allows the cable to run under the cross mem-
bers. See
