6. Position the lead in installation position -arrows C- and close the clips -arrows D-.

Note:
- Choose the connection point at a position with sufficient room for connecting all the individual leads.
- Do not cut the ends of the lead too short so that the connection area can be moved from the original installation position, if necessary, if there is insufficient space available.

7. Push the lead through to the interior -arrow- .
8. Cut the ends of the lead in the radiator tank to the required length and crimp in area -b- with a crimp connector and crimping tool.
- Cut off leads to different lengths (due to the shrink connection).
- Slide shrink-fit hose over the leads.
- Strip 10 mm of insulation off the leads.
- Connect leads with crimp connectors (do not confuse colours of the individual leads).
