ROUTING AND SECURING THE CABLES
Consider the following when routing cables:
• Do not run cables in areas of excessive heat.
• Do not expose cables to corrosive chemicals.
• Do not crimp or excessively bend cables.
• Coil up excess cable in the cab of the vehicle.
NOTE:
Keep as large of a bend radius as possible when coiling.
• Secure the cable using plastic tie wraps as necessary.
• Do not run cables near high voltage or strong RF noise and transmitter sources.
