Electric Wiring
WARNING
To avoid personal injury:
Shorting of electric cable or wiring
may cause a fire.
8
Check to see if electric cables
and
wiring
are
swollen,
hardened or cracked.
8
Keep dust and water away from
all power connections.
Loose wiring and terminal parts
make bad connections, be sure
to repair them before starting
the engine.
Damaged wiring reduces the capacity of electrical
parts. Change or repair damaged wiring immediately.
Fuse
The electrical system is protected from potential dam-
age by fuses.
A blown fuse indicates that there is an overload or a
short circuit somewhere in the electrical system.
If any of the fuses should blow, replace with a new one
of the same capacity.
