To release, always use the correct release tools. Under no
circumstances should the contacts be pulled out of the contact
housings with force. |
Damaged contact housings must always be replaced. New
contact housings can be ordered from the OTC in Kassel. |
As an aid to disengage the secondary locking mechanisms, a
small screwdriver can be used. |
The socket/pin assignment can be found stamped on the
secondary locking mechanism or on the rear of the contact
housing. |
For more detailed information about the locations of
connectors, see → Current
flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations. |
Allocation of the correct release tool to the respective
locking devices can be gleaned from the table in the
→ operating instructions of VAS 1978/35. |
