Where possible, we recommend that you investigate the cause of any damage or corrosion, and implement
corrective measures to prevent any future damage of components.
Use the following procedure to inspect the system connections:

they are sufficiently leak-tight. Repair or replace any damaged or corroded component and seal any leak found.

replace as necessary: refer to the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with your drive/transmission system.

that they do not leak. Repair or replace any damaged or corroded component and seal any leak found.
4. Inspect all of the electrical cables; check that they are not damaged and have not overheated. Replace any
cables that are damaged or have overheated. Check that all of the electrical connections are secure; tighten any
