3. PROTECT JOINED SECTION Wrap silicon tape around the joins to protect them from water. HINT: • Before starting the operation, thoroughly wipe dirt and grease off the sections to be joined. • If the adhesive surfaces of two tapes come in contact they will stick together and will not come a part, so do not remove the backing film except when using the tape. • Do not let oil and dust, etc. get on the tape surface. (a) Ready about 100 mm (3.94 in.) of silicon tape (Part No. 08231-00045) and peel off the film. (b) Stretch the silicon tape until its width is reduced by half. (c) About 10 mm (0.39 in.) from the end of the pressure-contact sleeve, wrap the silicon tape around the sleeve three or more times while stretching the tape. (d) Wrap the remaining part of sleeve with half of the tape overlapping at each turn. (e) Firmly wrap the tape two times or more about 10 mm (0.39 in.) from the other end of the pressure-contact sleeve, then wrap the tape back towards the start again and firmly finish winding the tape around the center of the sleeve. (f) Fix the corrugated tube to the cabtire cable using silicon tape. (g) After applying the silicon tape, apply vinyl tape on the corrugated tube of repair wire side over to the corrugated tube of vehicle wire harness side.
