Stihl Launches BT140, Its First Battery-Powered Auger
With battery tools becoming more widespread and more importantly, productive and reliable, it was only time before we saw augers or post-hole borers.
All hardware is made from 316 stainless steel, which makes the kit suitable for wet environments. The lamps are protected from water ingress by a two-stage sealing system that incorporates ultrasonic welding and a two-part epoxy glue, making them truly sealed.
The new Model 37 is designed to comply with the stringent IP68 standard, with each lamp fitted with a waterproof connector that joins effortlessly to the main harness, which also meets the IP68 standard.
Said to be a complete ‘plug and play’ solution for making installation easier and quicker, the kit consists of a plug and play harness, so no real electrical skill is needed and no splicing or joining of wires is required, making connections a tool-free operation.
Each kit contains all the necessary components to comply with fitting to the ADR 13/00 for lighting installations. This includes two 12/24V slimline rear combination indicator/stop/tail/license plate lamps, two amber LED side marker lamps, main harnesses and a 7-pin flat plug. The waterproof connection system utilises over-moulded connectors to quickly join the lamps and trailer plug to the main wiring harness. Should any damage occur when launching or retrieving the boat any of the components are easily replaced, thanks to the plug and play system.
