Disconnecting connectors
1]
Hold the connectors when discon-
necting.
When disconnecting the connectors,
hold the connectors. For connectors
held by a screw, loosen the screw
fully, then hold the male and female
connectors in each hand and pull
apart. For connectors which have a
lock stopper, press down the stopper
with your thumb and pull the connec-
tors apart.

Never pull with one hand.

When removing from clips

Both of the connector and clip have
stoppers, which are engaged with
each other when the connector is
installed.

When removing a connector from a
clip, pull the connector in a parallel
direction to the clip for removing stop-
pers.

If the connector is twisted up and
down or to the left or right, the
housing may break.

Action to take after removing connec-
tors
After removing any connector, cover it
with a vinyl bag to prevent any dust,
dirt, oil, or water from getting in the
connector portion.

If the machine is left disassem-
bled for a long time, it is particu-
larly easy for improper contact to
occur, so always cover the con-
nector.
