CAUTION:

Remove moisture, oil, and dust from the area to be taped before doing the taping.
Firmly tape the ends so that they do not peel off.
Always superimpose the tape while wrapping.
Wrap the tape approx. 20-30 mm {0.79-1.2 in} beyond both ends of the heat shrinkable tubing.

NOTE:

If the wiring harness is bundled and taped, bind it approx. 30 mm {1.2 in} away from the connector.
