surfaces that might exceed this temperature. Cable should be protected from
physical damage from moving parts. Do not expose the cable to chemicals or
oil that may cause the wiring insulation to deteriorate. Always route the cable so
that it does not interfere with safe operation and maintenance of the vehicle.
6. Provide mechanical support for the cable by securing it to the vehicle structure
at approximately one foot intervals, taking care not to over tighten and pinch
conductors or penetrate outer cable jacket.
