Part # 61246 – CABLE BOOT

CABLE BOOT

Western Part # 61246 is a Cable Boot designed for use with various Western Snow Plow electrical systems. This component is a protective cover or sleeve made from a flexible, durable material, primarily intended to shield electrical connections from environmental exposure.

The Cable Boot’s main function is to seal and insulate electrical terminals, connections, or splices from moisture, road salt, dirt, debris, and extreme temperatures encountered during snow plowing operations. It slips over the cable and connector, creating a protective barrier that prevents corrosion and short circuits, which are common causes of electrical failure in harsh conditions. These boots are typically made from rubber or high-quality synthetic elastomers that retain flexibility in cold weather and resist degradation from chemicals.

In Western Snow Plow applications, a cable boot like Part # 61246 is used in critical areas where electrical integrity is paramount, such as:

• Connections on hydraulic pumps or solenoids: Protecting the power supply to the hydraulic system.
• Controller connections or harness junctions: Sealing points where electrical harnesses meet.
• Any exposed electrical terminal: Providing a weather-tight seal to ensure consistent power flow and signal transmission.

Replacing a cracked, torn, or missing cable boot with Western Part # 61246 is essential for maintaining the reliability of your plow’s electrical system. This genuine Western part ensures proper fit and superior protection, extending the life of your electrical components and preventing costly downtime due to electrical issues. Always refer to your specific Western Plow model’s documentation and electrical schematics to confirm compatibility with Part # 61246 and to ensure it is used in its intended location for optimal protection.
