3. Route the power cable the shortest way possible. The cable is rated for a maximum
temperature of 105°C (221°F). When routing this cable it should be protected from physical
damage and from surfaces that might exceed this temperature.
Do not expose the cable to chemicals or oil that may cause the wiring insulation to deteriorate.
Note:If the vehicle is equipped with a panel containing Silicon Controller Rectifiers (SCR’s),
avoid routing the power cable in close proximity to these devices.
Always route the cable so that it does not interfere with safe operation and maintenance of the
vehicle.
Use proper electrical and mechanical fastening means for terminating the cable.
Properly sized “crimp” type electrical terminals are an accepted method of termination.
Please select electrical connectors sized for use with 18AWG (1mm
2
) conductors.

4. Provide mechanical support for the cable by securing it to the vehicle structure at
approximately one foot intervals, taking care not to over tighten and pinch conductors or
penetrate outer cable jacket.
5. Refer to the following sections to complete the power connection to the VX7.
