MAINTENANCE
6-15. Electrical, DC
6-15.1 Alternator
Proper belt tension is essential to avoid squealing, slipping, or throwing of alternator belts. Proper belt tension should
be checked using a Burrows Tension Gauge or equivalent. Refer to
for belt
installation instructions and proper belt tension values.
6-15.2 Batteries
Terminals
Make cable connections as corrosion resistant as possible by coating the connections with a heavy general purpose
grease or battery terminal protection product. Tighten the cable clamps to the battery posts before applying the
grease. This prevents the grease from getting between the clamps and the posts, and thereby restricting the flow of
electrical current.
Cleaning
Batteries can be cleaned with a brush dipped in a baking soda or ammonia solution. Make sure the battery caps are
tight to prevent the solution from entering the battery. After cleaning, flush with water. Clean battery terminals with
a steel wool or a wire brush. Keep terminals clean and tight. Make sure vent holes in the battery caps are open.
6-15.3 Wire Harnesses and Electrical Connectors
Inspect electrical connections for corrosion, looseness, or heat damage. Clean, tighten, or replace as necessary.
Inspect all wire harnesses and look for evidence of broken wires, chafing, or heat damage. Repair or replace as
necessary.
6-16. Electrical, AC
6-16.1 Alternating Current (AC) System (120V-240V) Introduction
This vehicle may be equipped with line voltage power supplied either from a shore-line (vehicle plugged into an
external outlet) or from an on-board source. Before attempting any service or inspection of electrical components or
wiring, any source of line voltage power should be de-energized. Unplug shore line power. Shut down or turn off any
on-board generator or inverter power source. Only qualified personnel should be allowed to service line voltage
equipment or wiring. Before working on line voltage electrical equipment or wiring, perform a procedure for the
control of hazardous energy sources (lockout/tagout) in a program complying with 29 CFR Part 1910.147. Follow
NEC guidelines for safe working methods.
When adding electrical accessories, choose mating connectors and terminals carefully to avoid
electrolytic corrosion. Joining connectors of dissimilar material can cause a chemical reaction that will
quickly corrode the joint, and electrical conductivity will be reduced or lost.
