Secure the harness to the frame or solid structural members at least every 12 in [30

cm].

Follow existing harness runs already routed on the implement as much as possible.

Proper harness routing should:

Secure harnessing and prevent the harness from hanging below the implement.

Provide sufficient clearance from moving components and operational zones

around shafts; universal joints and suspension components; pulleys, gears, belts,

and chains; moving linkages, cylinders, articulation joints, etc.

Protect harnessing from field debris and surrounding hazards (e.g. tree limbs,

fence posts, crop stubble, dirt clumps or rocks that may fall or be thrown by the

implement).

Protect harnessing from sharp bends, twisting, or flexing over short distances and

normal implement operation.

Connectors and splices should not be located at bending points or in harness sec-

tions that move.

Ensure sufficient length for free movement of the implement during normal oper-

ation and prevent pulling, pinching, catching, or rubbing, especially in artic-

ulation and pivot points. Clamp harnessing securely to force controlled

movement of the harness.

Avoid abrasive surfaces and sharp edges such as sheared or flame cut corners,

fastener threads or cap screw heads, hose clamp ends, etc.

Do not connect, affix, or allow harnessing to come into contact with components with

high vibration forces, hot surfaces, or components carrying hot fluids beyond the tem-

perature rating of harness components.

Harnessing should be protected or shielded if routing requires the hose to be

exposed to conditions beyond harnessing component specifications.

Avoid routing harnesses in areas where damage may occur due to build up of material

(e.g. dirt, mud, snow, ice, etc.).

Avoid routing harnesses in areas where the operator or service personnel might step or

use as a grab bar.

Note: Avoid applying direct spray or pressure washing of electrical components and

connections. High pressure streams and sprays can penetrate seals, cause corrosion, or

otherwise damage electrical components. When performing maintenance:
