AC Electrical System Maintenance
Periodically inspect all wiring for nicks, chang,
brittleness, improper support, etc. Examine the
battery charger power cable closely for cracks in
the insulation and corrosion in electrical connec-
tors. Spraying receptacles and electrical connec-
tions with an electrical contact cleaner or a metal
and electrical protector will reduce corrosion and
improve electrical continuity.
Inspect all wiring for proper support, sound insula-
tion and tight terminals.
The entire AC circuitry, especially the battery
charger power cable, should be seasonally tested
for proper continuity by an experienced electri-
cian. This will detect any shorts, open wires or
ground faults.
CORROSION ALLOWED TO BUILD ON THE ELECTRICAL
CONNECTORS CAN CAUSE A POOR CONNECTION
RESULTING IN SHORTS, GROUND FAULTS OR POOR
GROUND CONNECTIONS. ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
SHOULD BE CHECKED AT LEAST ANNUALLY AND CLEANED
AS REQUIRED. DO NOT ALLOW CORROSION TO BUILD ON
CONNECTIONS.
THE AC AND DC ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ALWAYS SHOULD
BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE
INSPECTING OR SERVICING THE SYSTEM. NEVER SERVICE
ANY COMPONENT OF AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHILE IT
IS ENERGIZED.
