12 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS &
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. TAKE CARE THE CONNECTOR COUNTERPARTS (HEADER PINS AND
RECEPTACLE CONTACTS) ARE CHEMICALLY HOMOGENEUS.
E-steering motor controller adopts a 23-poles Ampseal header tin plated
connector. So the contacts in the counterpart must be tin plated too. In case a
gold plated type Ampseal connector will be used in the E-steering motor
controller side, the contacts in the counterpart must be gold plated too.
2. DO NOT CONNECT A LIVE BATTERY TO THE E-STEERING MOTOR
CONTB and –B CONNECTIONS.
A live battery generates a conflict with the discharged caps rail inside the E-
steering motor controller: a consequent spark will damage (melt) the pins of the
connector.
Keep the battery unplugged when connecting the receptacle to
its header counterpart.
3. TAKE CARE YOUR FINGERS STAY AWAY FROM THE PINS OF THE E-
STEERING MOTOR CONTROLLER CONNECTOR DURING INSTALLATION.
Fingers can bend or contaminate the pins.
4. THE PINION IN THE MOTOR IS VERY SENSITIVE TO MECHANICAL
IMPACTS.
Impacts may cause the pinion-to-gear joint to become louder. Take care the
protection cap of the pinion is not removed before of the final installation. When
the cap has been removed be careful that the pinion does not impact any
metallic part during the installation.
