Core activity
(-) Checking rear brake disc for run-out

Requirement
No burrs or scoring on brake disc, brake disc thickness above minimum.
Positioning of the brake disc/wheel rim has been checked.
Wheel rim has been checked for damage.

Make sure that clearance from chain tensioner (1) is sufficient; if necessary
adjust the rear wheel and tighten.
Insert dial gauge (No. 00 2 510) with clamping pieces (No. 00 2 505) and
(No. 00 2 506) in rear wheel swinging arm (2).
Align the slightly preloaded dial gauge (No. 00 2 510) with measuring
adapter (No. 34 2 510) in such a way that the measuring adapter is in
contact with the brake disc close to the outer circumference (arrow).

Check

Set the dial gauge to "0".


Slowly turn the wheel through at least one complete revolution and
observe the dial gauge reading.
The sum of the positive and negative dial-gauge readings is the total run-
out.

+ 61 11 513

Core activity
(-) Installing wiring harness repair kit

Cut out the defective plug or length of cable, if possible making the cut at
some point along a straight run where the wiring harness can be firmly
secured.
Cut the individual cores staggered along the length of a shrink-on hose (1)
so that the repaired points are not beside each other.
Correlate the numbered cores of the repair kit with the corresponding cable
colours of the original plug and cut them back to the appropriate staggered
lengths.
NOTICE
The cables are not colour-coded; instead, they have code numbers to ensure
the universal usability of the repair kits.

Set stripping pliers (No. 61 0 511) to the correct wire diameter.


Use stripping pliers (No. 61 0 511) to strip the ends of the wires.

Slip shrink-on hoses (1) into position.


Insert the ends of the wires into the corresponding crimp connectors (2),
note that insulation and core must both be secured (detail).
Secure crimp connectors (2) with pliers (No. 61 4 342) with crimping head
(No. 61 4 343) to the stripped ends of the wires, noting the cable cross-
section.

Slip shrink-on hose (1) into position over the repair and heat the hose.
Shrink-on hose (1) contracts to a tight fit.
Hot glue (arrows) escapes between shrink-on hose (1) and wire (2).

It is necessary to transport a used lithium battery for analytical or disposal


purposes. This lithium-ion based cell modules are classified as hazardous
goods in accordance with UN 38.3 and must only be transported subject to
specific requirements
Batteries with an energy content exceeding 100 Wh are considered as
lithium battery/high-voltage battery.
Corresponds to 12V lithium battery 10Ah
Batteries with energy content of 100 Wh or less are considered as small

Corresponds to 12 Vlithium battery 5Ah
Damaged batteries are always considered as hazardous material.

The specially trained person is always responsible for maintaining the


certified transport readiness between determination and transfer of the
battery to disposal / transport companies. For shipment, the influence of the
storage conditions and other possibly occurring events on the established
transport readiness must be taken into account.
Transport in the sense of the Hazardous Goods Law is divided into three
areas:
1. Determination of transport readiness
2. Transport preparation
