Explosion hazard!
Before beginning work on the engine compartment of petrol engines,
switch on the ventilator of the engine compartment.
Ensure that necessary clearance is provided behind the cable opening, at
the position where the gauge is to be installed.
When selecting the installation position for the gauge, take care that no
stringers are drilled. Be careful also of furniture, floorboards,
superstructure boxes, cables etc.
When carrying out installation work with a sealing compound, solvent
vapours can be formed. Make sure of adequate ventilation and follow the
instructions for use of the sealing compound manufacturer.
For the installation only use VDO approved cables.
If you don’t use standard cables, the wires used should be adequately
insulated or should have sufficient electrical strength, and the contact
point should be protected against electrical shock hazard. The electrical
conducting components of the connected consuming devices should also
be protected against direct contact through suitable measures.
Installation of bare metallic wires and contacts is not allowed.
Take account of the wire cross section. A reduction of the wire cross
section results in a higher current density. This can cause the wire to heat
up and potentially cause fire.
Connect the wires only in accordance with the wiring diagram.
