Heavy Duty (HD) Mount.Excess of material: More than 3 inches of slack for every 14 inch section of hose routing, except for air conditionerhoses. See section 4.1.3 for air conditioner hose requirements.Shortness of material: Less than 1 inch of slack on a 14 inch section of hose routing.ROUTING REQUIREMENTSWiringElectrical ground wire terminals must be securely attached and the complete terminal surface must contact a clean baremetal surface. See R414-558 for grounding wire connection practice. Apply electrical contact corrosion inhibitor Nyogel759G grease (made by William F. Nye, Inc., New Bedford, MA) per R414-558.Don’t bend wires or use tie straps within 3 inches (75 mm) of (connected) wire connectors or plugs.Wires in BundlesElectrical wires (other than the exceptions covered below) running parallel with air or coolant hose bundles, may be in-cluded in the bundle if they are isolated from the hoses with a covering of convoluted plastic tubing.EXCEPTIONS:Battery cables (including jump start cables) may be bundled with or tied to the charging wire harness.They shall not be bundled with or tied directly to any other components, including hoses, wires, orbundles. They shall be separated from other routed components using butterfly ties at intervals notexceeding 14 inches (356 mm). Battery strap (W84-1000) tie down shall be used without exception tosecure battery cables to frame mounted or other major component (e.g. engine, tmsn, etc.) mountedstandoffs at intervals not exceeding 14 inches (356 mm). The (positive) battery cable shall be coveredwith convoluted plastic tubing from terminal to terminal.110/220 volt wires for engine heaters, oil pan heaters, transmission oil heaters and battery pad warm-ers, shall not be included in any hose/wire bundle with a fuel hose. Individual heater wires not in abundle shall be separated from other components by using butterfly clamps or butterfly ties at intervalsnot exceeding 14 inches (356 mm). Heater wires with a secondary covering shall be covered with con-voluted tubing whether they are in bundles or not.Note:
