Cable / wiring
In case of necessary repair of a cable connection, take special care that cable quality,
isolation, crimping, strand end soldering of cable sockets as well as protective varnish isolation
and/or connector locks meet the respective requirements.
Tools for crimp connections to be found in tool catalog P/N Z001002/0 "KIT 3".
06. 05. 01. Battery cable lengths and cross-sections
Determine the lenght of the positive cable from the positive pole (+) of the battery to connection No.
30 at the starter.
Total lenght is the sum of cable length of positive cable (+) and earth cable (-).
For example:
positive cable = 3,0 m
ground cable = 2,0 m
-----------------------------
Total length = 5,0 m ===> cable cross section = 70 mm²
For ground connection, determine corresponding cross-sections as per chart.
