inspected frequently for wear, cuts and abrasion. Do not use worn, damaged,
undersized, or poorly spliced cable.
• The DVS power connector is subject to normal wear and tear, and likely to be
damaged by misuse or abuse. Frequently inspect the connector for cracking, pitting
of contacts, fraying of wires or signs of connector fatigue. Should any indication be
