Regularly inspect the battery cable, and replace
it if damaged.
•
A battery cable with exposed wires may cause
a short if it comes into contact with the ground-

posed wires make contact with the grounding
surface, and the current may bypass to the master switch, which may in turn destabilize the ma-
chine operation.
Repair or replace the part before operating the machine.
