CAUTIONS IN SERVICING

CONNECTORS

When disconnecting a connector, be sure to hold the termi-
nals; do not pull the lead wires.
When connecting a connector, push it in so it is firmly attached.
Inspect the connector for corrosion, contamination and any
breakage in the cover.

COUPLERS

With a lock-type coupler, be sure to release the lock before
disconnecting it. When connecting a coupler, push it in until
the lock clicks shut.
When disconnecting a coupler, be sure to hold the coupler;
do not pull the lead wires.
Inspect each terminal on the coupler for looseness or bends.
Inspect each terminal for corrosion and contamination.

CLAMPS

Refer to the "WIRE HARNESS, CABLE, AND HOSE ROUT-
ING" section for proper clamping procedures. (
8-18)
Bend the clamp properly, as shown in the illustration.
When clamping the wire harness, do not allow it to hang down.
Do not use wire or any substitutes for the band-type clamp.

FUSE

When a fuse blows, always investigate the cause, correct the
problem, and then replace the fuse.
Do not use a fuse of a different capacity.
Do not use any substitutes for the fuse (e.g., wire).

SEMICONDUCTOR EQUIPPED PARTS

Do not drop any part that contains a semiconductor (e.g., CDI
unit, regulator/rectifier).
When inspecting the part, follow the inspection instructions
carefully. Neglecting proper procedures may cause this part
to be damaged.
