General Harness Guidelines
• Before installing cable ties, uncoil and dress the cable
assembly
and extensions
across the drill and to
the hitch. This assures that the cables are long
enough, and correctly oriented left/right.
• Keep cables clear of moving parts and pinch points,
such as chains, sprockets and rotating shafts.
• Keep cables clear of sharp edges (or protect edges).
• Keep cables clear of any machine parts that get hot.
• Allow slack at hinge points, or route the cable so that it
passes through the hinge axis.
• Take advantage of holes and open tubes on the drill.
However, avoid routing through a tube if a mated
connector set would end up inside the tube.
• Evaluate routing and attachment points. Ample ties
are provided for most situations. The ties can also be
used around hydraulic hoses to secure the cable.
• Leave a little slack between attachment points.
A cable stretched taut could be damaged by normal
temperature swings.
• Where there is an extended run of unsupported cable,
make sure each end of the sag is supported by a cable
tie, and that there are no connections in the sag.
• Where excess cable exists (such as on two-point
drills), plan a location for coiling it up and securing it.
Having the coil near the hitch provides flexibility if any
later troubleshooting required.
• Before making outside connections, apply a generous
amount of dielectric grease around the inside surface
of all female (receptacle) connectors.
