Reparation of 0.35 mm² wiring junction

Note!

t	Wiring repair kit -VAS 1978- has wiring with three types of different sections (0.5 mm², 1.5 mm², 4 mm²) and corresponding plugs.

t	For the reparation of a 0.35 mm² wire use a 0.5 mm² repair wire.

t	Repair as follows:

–	Strip the ends of the 0.35 mm² wire with the wire strippers twice the length (approx. 12 to 14 mm).

–	Fold the stripped ends of the wire in half.

–	Strip the ends of the 0.5 mm² wire with the wire strippers (approx. 6 to 7 mm).

–	Fit the connecting plug on the ends of the wire and tighten it with the terminal clamps at both sides.

The insulation of the ends of the wiring cannot be tightened in this operation.

Bear in mind that the red 0.5 mm² hole of the terminal clamps is used.

–	After press-fitting the connecting plug, seal the plug with a hot air blower.

The connecting plug must be heated from the centre outwards until it is totally sealed and the adhesive comes out.

Set the blower at the temperature shown in the Instruction Manual.

When heating for sealing, be careful not to damage other wiring, plastic parts or insulation with the hot nozzle of the blower.

–	If the repair wire was previously taped, it must be taped with yellow adhesive tape or, if necessary, fix the wire with a clamp.
