Contact Surfaces, Cleaning Using Contact Surface Cleaning Set VAS 6410
Contact Surfaces, Cleaning Using Contact Surface Cleaning Set VAS 6410
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Contact Surfaces Cleaning Set (VAS 6410)
• Using the (VAS 6410), service work can be performed in the area of the contact sensor on the threaded connection wiring harnesses in the high current circuit (starter and charging current).
• The gray sanding pads are for slight contamination and suitable for "soft surfaces". The red sanding pads are for heavy contamination and suitable for "hard surfaces".

Wiring Eyelets, Servicing
• Do not use rust remover, contact spray or grease because the lack of friction will cause the torque to be exceeded when installing and this will lead to the threaded connection breaking.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury.
• Observe warning notes and safety precautions. Refer to => [ Warnings and Safety Precautions ] Battery A!
- Disconnect the Battery (A). Refer to => [ Battery A, Disconnecting and Connecting ] Battery A, Disconnecting and Connecting.
- Loosen the cap nut and remove the wiring eyelet from the threaded connection.
- Check the wiring eyelet for corrosion and dirt.
- Select the corresponding adapter and the corresponding sanding pad.
• A sanding block can be used instead.
CAUTION!
Increased corrosion due to an exposed copper layer.
• Make sure the tin layer is not worn down too much and the copper is not visible. Increased corrosion can result due to the galvanizing effects.
• Due to the different thicknesses of the tin layer, the cleaning process must be performed in several steps and a visual inspection of the wiring eyelet between steps is necessary.
- Insert the adapter in the wiring eyelet and sand off the corrosion and contamination with circular motion.
- Check the wiring eyelet and sand it again if necessary.
- If necessary, remove the burr on the wiring eyelet with the deburrer.
- Reinstall the wiring eyelet to the tightening specification.
• Optimal contact is ensured if the bolted components are tightened to the specified torque after cleaning.
- Protect the connection with the corresponding protection material. Refer to => [ Protecting Components ].
- Connect the Battery (A). Refer to => [ Battery A, Disconnecting and Connecting ] Battery A, Disconnecting and Connecting.
Threaded Connections, Servicing
• Do not use rust remover, contact spray or grease because the lack of friction will cause the torque to be exceeded when installing and this will lead to the threaded connections breaking.
CAUTION!

- Disconnect the Battery (A). Refer to => [ Battery A, Disconnecting and Connecting ] Battery A, Disconnecting and Connecting.
- Loosen the cap nut and remove the wiring eyelet from the threaded connection.
- Check the threaded connection for corrosion and dirt.
- Select the corresponding adapter and the corresponding sanding pad for the threaded connection.

Battery Clamps and Battery Terminals, Cleaning
• Do not use rust remover, contact spray or grease because the lack of friction will cause the torque to be exceeded when installing and this will lead to the battery terminals breaking.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury.
• Observe warning notes and safety precautions. Refer to => [ Warnings and Safety Precautions ] Battery A!
- Disconnect the Battery (A). Refer to => [ Battery A, Disconnecting and Connecting ] Battery A, Disconnecting and Connecting.
- Check the battery terminal and battery pole for corrosion and dirt.
- Clean the battery terminal with a wire brush and battery pole cleaner - arrows -.
- Clean the battery pole with the bottom side of the battery pole cleaner with circular motions.
- Connect the Battery (A). Refer to => [ Battery A, Disconnecting and Connecting ] Battery A, Disconnecting and Connecting.
• Optimal contact is ensured if the bolted components are tightened to the specified torque after cleaning.
Protecting Components
CAUTION!
Danger of corrosion.
• Missing protection leads to the electrical system damage.
• All threaded connections must be tightened to the specified torque.
• Always use the accompanying hose on the protection container.
• Protection wax is used in the cool area and cavity protection wax is used in the warm area.
• The protection material draws itself into the affected places by capillary action.
- Hold the injector under the wiring eyelet and spray all around the pins.
- Hold the injector above the wiring eyelet and spray all around the pins and wiring eyelet.
