CAUTION!
Risk of damaging surrounding components.

‹› When heat shrinking crimp connections, be careful not to damage any other wiring, plastic parts or insulating material with the hot

nozzle of the hot air blower.

‹› Always observe operating instructions of heat gun.

-

Heat crimp connection using the hot air blower lengthwise from center outward until it is sealed completely and adhesive comes out the ends.

‹› This is how the completed repair location with the inserted wire and two crimp connectors should look.

‹› Make sure that crimp connections do not lie directly next to each other when several wires need to be repaired. Arrange the crimp connectors at a

slight offset so that the circumference of the wiring harness does not become too large.

‹› If the repair point was previous taped, this point must be taped again with yellow insulating tape after repairs.

‹› Secure the repaired wiring harness if necessary with a cable tie to prevent flapping noises while driving.
