Repairing the cable eyes
Repairing the cable eyes
  Note
t  It is not permitted to use rust solvent, contact spray or grease on the cable eyes as the tightening torque via the thread to the screwed connection is exceeded through the missing static friction and leads to the fracture of the screwed connection.
t  The grey grinding pads are suitable for slight contaminations and „soft surfaces“.
t  The red grinding pads are suitable for heavy contaminations and „hard surfaces“.
  WARNING
Risk of injury!
Observe the warning instructions and safety precautions when working on the battery → Chapter.
–  Unscrew battery earth strap → Electrical System; Rep. gr.27.
   
–  Unscrew the cap nut and remove the cable eye from the screwed connection.
–  Check the cable eye for corrosion, contamination, damage etc.
–  Select the appropriate adapter and the corresponding grinding pad.
  Note
The grinding block can also be used as an alternative.
  Caution
Carefully clean the cable eye so that the tin layer is not excessively worn off.
An intermediate visual inspection of the cleaned surface is required during the cleaning process, because of the different thicknesses of the tin layers.
If the tin layer is severely worn off so that the underlying copper is revealed, increased galvanic corrosion effects can occur.

–  Position a suitable adapter on the cable eye and grind off the corrosion and contaminations with rotary movements. Continuously check the cleaned surface.
  N97-10789
–  Check the burr on the cable eye and remove with the reamer if necessary.
–  Position again the cable eye and screw on to the recommended tightening torque.
  Note
Optimal contact is ensured if the components to be bolted are screwed to the recommended tightening torque after cleaning.
–  After tightening the connection, treat it with the appropriate preservative product → Chapter.
–  Pay attention to the sequence when connecting the battery → Electrical System; Rep. gr.27.
