Maintenance Instructions
Electrical
Alternator–Starter–Battery Test
An Amps-Volts-Resistance test should be performed periodically
by a trained professional.
The test checks for alternator
amperage output, starter current draw, and battery amperage
capacity. This type of testing detects weaknesses that may not
yet be apparent during normal daily operations.
Terminal Inspection–Cleaning–Corrosion Protection
Periodically, inspect electrical connectors in the battery box,
electrical panel box, and engine compartment for corrosion and
tightness. Clean all exposed terminals and apply a lubricant
sealing grease.
Refer to the Maintenance and Intervals
section for appropriate sealing grease specifications. The
inspection / cleaning / corrosion protection should include
feed-through connections, power and ground cable connections
for batteries, engines, and the starter stud.
Inspect exposed cables for fraying or signs of abrasion.
Connectors that are more subject to corrosion may be
disassembled and sprayed with a light coating of dielectric
grease. Use grease sparingly. Too much grease will not allow
air to escape from the connection and this compressed air will
push the connection apart.
Accessory Feed Connections
WARNING
To prevent personal injury and / or death, or
property damage, do not increase size of fuse or
circuit breaker or change type of breaker supplied
with your truck, as this could cause wiring to
overheat and possibly burn. Electrical circuits
are designed with a particular wire gauge to meet
the fuse and circuit breaker current rating.
Vehicle electrical systems are complex and often include
electronic components such as engine and transmission
controls, instrument panels, antilock brakes, etc. While most
systems still operate on battery voltage (12 volts), some
systems can be as high as 90 volts or as low as 5 volts. Refer
to the Electrical Circuit Diagram Manuals available from IC
Bus to ensure that any additional body lights and accessories
are connected to circuits that are both appropriate and not
overloaded. No modification should be made to any vehicle
control system without first contacting your IC Bus dealer.
Engine
General
The vehicle (engine) owner is responsible for the performance
of all scheduled maintenance.
The required maintenance
operations may be performed by the owner or at a service
establishment of the owner’s choosing.
