As with other vehicle cables, carefully consider the routing of the cables to ensure they do not pose a hazard to the operator or the safe operation of the vehicle. If necessary, secure the cables with cable ties or some other mechanical means to prevent loops or loose lengths of wire from catching on stationary items when the vehicle is in motion.
Before installing the cables between the Vehicle Dock and other devices, consider the following:
Ensure that drilling holes do not damage the vehicle or its wiring.
Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.
Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.
Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their desired location, away from areas where they may get snagged or pulled.
Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other potential hazards.
Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may damage the cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
Make sure the cables run inside the roll cage of the vehicle.
