PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE WHEN SERVICING AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM l Note the following items when servicing the electrical system.
l Do not alter the wiring or electrical equipment in any way; this may damage the vehicle or cause a fire
from short-circuiting a circuit or overloading it.
l The negatrve (-) battery cable must be removed first and
rnstalled last. l Do not reptace with fuses exceedrng specified capacity
Cautron
l 8e sure that the ignitton and other switches are off
before disconnectrng or connecting the battery cables.
Failure to do so may damage the semrconductor
components. Caution l Repfacing a fuse with one of a larger capacrty than
desrgnated may damage components or cause a frre.
