Information

Select a place for the joint where there is enough space to join all the lines present.

The greatest care must be used in the individual work steps for stripping insulation from, crimping, and shrinking/insulating the electric lines.

The procedure for stripping insulation from, crimping, and shrinking/insulating the electric lines must be complied with and observed. The procedures are described in detail in the Repair Kit For Harnesses Nr. 155-1 .

Crimping samples are to be prepared before beginning work.
