    Before clamping, check each connector cover for damage. Also make sure that the female connector is tight and not loosened from the previous use.
    Connector cover shown correct (O, intact and tight) vs incorrect (X, damaged/loose), depicting checking each connector cover before clamping.
  2. 31
    Insert male connectors into the female connectors fully until they will no longer go. Be sure that plastic cover is placed over the connection. Position the wires so that the open end of the cover is not facing upward.
    Male connector fully inserted with plastic cover positioned correctly (O) vs not fully inserted / cover open end facing up (X).
  3. 32
    Secure wires and wire harnesses to the frame with their respective wire bands at the designated locations. Position the wiring in the bands so that only the insulated surfaces contact the wires or wire harnesses.
    Wire band securing a harness so only insulated surfaces contact (O) vs band pinching/exposing wire (X).
  4. 33
    A loose wire harness or cable can be a hazard to safety. After clamping, check each wire for security in its clamp.
    Wire harness secured in its clamp (O) vs loose harness slipping out of the clamp (X).
  5. 34
    Do not squeeze wires against the weld when a weld-on clamp is used.

  6. 35
    After clamping, check each harness to be certain that it is not interfering with any moving or sliding parts of the vehicle.
  7. 36
    Keep wire harnesses away from the exhaust pipes and other hot parts.

  8. 37
    Always keep a safe distance between wire harnesses and any heated parts.

  9. 38
    Do not bring wire harnesses in direct contact with sharp edges or corners.
  10. 39
    Also avoid contact with the projected ends of bolts, screws and other fasteners.
