10. MAINTENANCE OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
10.1. TO MAINTAIN ELECTRIC WIRING
(1) When servicing the electric wiring, stop the engine
without fail. Otherwise your hands or clothes may
be caught in or sandwiched between rotating parts.
(2) Before manipulating electric parts, be sure to
disconnect the earth battery cable (-), or you may
get an electric shock or be injured by sparks.
(3) Loose electric terminals or connectors may not
only lower electrical performance but also cause
short circuit or leakage of electricity, which may
lead to a fire. Promptly repair or replace damaged
wiring.
(4) Remove chaff or dust from the battery, wiring,
muffler or engine. Otherwise it could result a fire.
10.2. TO HANDLE THE BATTERY
(1) When working around the battery, avoid smoking.
The battery generates explosive hydrogen and
oxygen gases when it is being charged. Keep the
battery away from sparks or open flames.
(2) The battery should be inspected before starting
the engine. Be careful not to touch the electrolyte
makes contact with the skin or clothing, wash
it off immediately with water and then consult a
doctor.
(3) When replacing or inspection the battery stop the
engine and turn the main switch off, or electrical
parts may be damaged or unexpected accident
may occur.
(4) When disconnecting the battery cables, discon-
nect the earth cable (-) first without fail. When
connecting the battery cables, connect the posi-
tive cable (+) first. Disconnecting or connecting in
wrong order may lead to a short circuit or sparks.
10.3. TO HANDLE BOOSTER CABLES
When using booster cables, pay attention to the
following items for safe operation:
(1) Before connecting cables, remove the vent plugs.
This will lower the force in case of explosion.
(2) Before connecting cables, be sure to stop the
engines. Otherwise unexpected accidents may
occur.
(3) Use booster cables with sufficient electrical ca-
pacity. A cable of inadequate capacity will cause
generation of heat, which may lead to a fire.
