2.5 WIRING HARNESSES

After the first wiring harness has been
disconnected or replaced, it must be
reconnected in the original manner and
fastened.

Protect the wiring harness against contact with
sharp edges. Always use a grommet when
passing the wiring harness through an aperture.

Protect the wiring harness by enclosing it in a
protective sleeve.

Make sure that the joints are watertight. Never
remove sealing rings from connectors. Fit the
connectors in the correct manner.

Good earth connections are essential. There
must be no paint or oxidation between the
contact surfaces. Before assembly, apply a
conductive grease such as “Coranode” or a
similar product to the contact surfaces. Tighten
the attachment bolt securely.

Make sure that wiring is not located too close to
parts which become hot during operation.

Freely suspended cables, such as those
between the chassis and the cab, must not be
kinked or pinched between other parts.

Prevent wiring harnesses from scraping against
plastic pipes.

The pins of connectors must always be installed
and removed with special tools, to prevent poor
connections.

2.6 AVOIDING THE RISK OF FIRE

-

Check fuel pipes for leakage and fix any
leakage immediately. (see also Plastic
pipes).

-

When fitting steel fuel pipes take into
account the points listed below.
Fit the fuel pipe free from tension.
Preformed fuel pipes must not be bent.
When refitting a banjo bolt on a fuel pipe,
always fit new sealing rings and tighten the
banjo bolt to the specified torque.
After tightening, check the fastening for fuel
leakage.
Steel fuel pipes fitted without due care and
attention can cause fuel leaks which lead to
fire hazard.

-

In the event of fuel and/or oil leakage or
spillage, the engine encapsulation must be
thoroughly cleaned. First apply a
degreasing agent to the encapsulation
material. Then wash down the
encapsulation with a steam cleaner or with
a high--pressure cleaner.

Maintain a minimum distance of 50
cm between the engine
encapsulation and the sprayer
nozzle to prevent damage to the
encapsulation.

-

Clean the engine compartment, and in
particular the encapsulated part, at regular
intervals, by removing flammable material
such as dead leaves and sawdust.

-

Do not leave cleaning rags or other such
things in the engine compartment.

-

Repair leaks in the exhaust system without
delay. Badly corroded exhaust components
should be replaced before they fail.

-

Always remember to re--fit the heat shields
after removal.

-

Never replace a defective fuse by a fuse of
a higher rating.

-

Never connect accessories which are not
protected by a fuse.

-

Check wiring which is not fuse--protected
(battery leads, etc.), to make sure that it is
undamaged and properly attached and
located.

2.7 TACHOGRAPH CALIBRATION

The test bench may be used to calibrate the
tachograph (e.g. when changing to a different
type of tyre).

If the vehicle is equipped with ASR, the system
will interpret turning rear wheels and still front
wheels as rear wheel spin. As deceleration is no
longer applicable, the system will try to
neutralise this “spinning” by slowing down the
rear wheels. The result is that the vehicle is
thrown from the test bench, which is dangerous.

In order to avoid this, the ABS/ASR system
fuses must be removed, rendering the ABS/ASR
system inactive.
However, this is viewed by the system as faults
to be registered in the memory. These faults
must be reset after calibration using DAVIE.
