Checking and Cleaning of Electrical Wiring and Battery Cables
CAUTION
• A loosened terminal or connector, or damaged wire may
affect the performance of electrical components or cause
short circuits. Leakage of electricity could result in a fire
hazard, a dead battery or damage to electrical components.
• Replace damaged wires or connections promptly.
• If a fuse blows soon after replacement, DO NOT USE A
LARGER THAN RECOMMENDED FUSE OR BYPASS THE
FUSE SYSTEM.
• Many wiring connections are protected by waterproof
plugs, plug and unplug these connections carefully and
make sure they are sealed correctly after assembly.
• Accumulation of dust, chaff and spilled fuel deposits
around the battery, electrical wiring, engine or exhaust
system are fire hazards. CLEAN THESE AREAS BEFORE
STARTING WORK.
To avoid premature electrical malfunctions DO NOT APPLY
high pressure water directly to battery, wiring, connectors,
electrical components or instrument panel.
Inspect the following regularly:
1. Check wiring for chafed or cracked insulation.
2. Check wiring harness clamps. Replace if necessary.
3. Check connectors and terminals for looseness, contamination
or overheated (discolored) connections.
4. Check instrument panel for correct operation of switches and
gauges.
Checking Movable Parts
If any of the movable parts, such as levers and pedals, is not
smoothly moved because of rust or sticky material, do not attempt
to force it into motion.
In the above case, remove the rust or the sticky material, and
apply oil or grease on the relevant spot. Otherwise, the machine
may get damaged.
