Between battery terminal and fuse

(f) Use a round flat terminal for the power supply terminal and jointly fasten it by using the fixing nut for

attaching the battery cable terminal.
Only one power supply terminal may be used.
Two or more additional terminals can be loosened, resulting in heat being generated or a short.

List of recommended combinations of fuse capacity and wire size

Note: Keep the continuous permissible current within 70 % of the fuse specifications value.

(E.g.) If the fuse used is 10 A:

10 × 0.7 = 7 (A)
R

A load of up to 7 A can be used.

5.1.5

Batteries

• Never place any metal objects or tools on the

batteries.

• There is a risk of short circuit if the positive

terminal clamp on the connected battery comes
into contact with vehicle parts. This could cause
the highly explosive gas mixture to ignite. You and
others could be seriously injured as a result.

• When disconnecting the batteries, always

disconnect the negative terminal clamp first and
then the positive terminal.

• When connecting the batteries, always connect the

positive terminal clamp first and then the negative
terminal.

• Incorrect polarity of the supply voltage can cause

irreparable damage to the control units.

• Never start the engine without a connected battery

(battery terminals tightened).

• Do not disconnect or remove the battery terminals

while the engine is running.

• If the batteries are flat, the engine can be jump-

started using jump leads connected to the batteries
of another vehicle. Observe the Instruction Manual.
Do not use a quick charger for jump-starting.

• Only tow-start the vehicle with the batteries

connected.

• Quick-charge the batteries only after

disconnecting them from the vehicle's electrical
system. Both the positive and negative terminals
must be disconnected.

5.1.6

Lines, plug connections and control units

• A plug connection must not be unplugged from or

plugged into the control unit(s) while the ignition is
on.

• Lines must be protected from heat by means of

insulation.

• Route cables in such a way that chafing cannot

occur, particularly at crossover points and sharp
edges. If necessary, use cable ducts, insulating
loom, or guide pipes.

• Do not carry out tests at connector terminals using

unsuitable tools (test probes, wire ends, etc.). This
may lead to contact damage and subsequent
problems. Use suitable test leads.

• The contact persons must be consulted if a battery

isolating switch is to be retrofitted

5.2 Brake hoses/cables and lines

• Fuel and hydraulic lines and brake hoses must be

covered or removed if necessary before carrying
out any welding, drilling and grinding work and
before working with cutting discs.

• After installing fuel lines, hydraulic lines and brake

hoses, the potentially affected system must be
tested for pressure loss and leaks.

• No other lines may be attached to brake hoses.
• Lines must be protected from heat by means of

appropriate insulation.

• Line routing must be designed to prevent any

pressure loss.

Comply with all federal, state, and local regulations
and codes.

Risk of accident

Work carried out incorrectly on the brake hoses,
cables and lines may impair their function. This may
lead to the failure of components or parts relevant
to safety.

5.3 Mobile communications systems

5.3 Mobile communications systems

United States Federal Communication Commission
and Canadian National & Provincial communication
regulations as well as the equipment manufacturer's
information and installation specifications must be
observed.

If mobile communication systems (e.g. telephone,
CB radio) are retrofitted, the following requirements
must be fulfilled in order to avoid malfunctions
developing on the vehicle at a later stage.

Equipment

• The equipment must have official approval and

meet FCC regulations for power, operating
frequency, and interference.

• The equipment must be permanently installed.
• Operation of portable or mobile equipment inside

the cab is only permitted if this equipment is
connected to a permanently installed external
aerial.

• The transmitter must be installed separately from

all other vehicle electronics.

• Protect equipment from moisture.
• Observe the permissible operating temperature.
• Protect the equipment against severe mechanical

vibrations.

Aerial (for two-way radio sets)

• The aerial must be officially licensed.

Connection and wiring

• The connection should be made directly to

teriminal inside cab

컄 page 103.

• Disconnect the unit from the electrical system

before jump-starting.

• Cables should be wired via the shortest possible

route (not looped) and twisted.

• Ensure that the system has a good ground

connection to the body (aerial and equipment).

• The aerial and connecting cables between the

transmitter, receiver and control panel must be
routed separately from the vehicle wiring harness
in the vicinity of the body ground.

• Make sure that the aerial cable is not kinked or

crushed.

The notes on operating safety and vehicle safety in
Section 1 "Introduction"

컄 page 10 and 컄 page 11

must be complied with.
