• Clamp the wire harnesses securely so that they do not interfere with the rotating parts, moving
parts and hot parts.
• Route and connect the wire harnesses properly. Be sure that the harnesses are not slack,
twisted or pulled overly taut.
• Route the wire harnesses properly so that they do not contact sharp edges and corners and the
end of the bolts and screws on the body.
• If a wire harness must contact the end of the bolts or screws or sharp edges and corners, protect
the contact part of the harness with a loom or by winding with electrical insulating tape. If the wire
harness has a grommet, set the grommet securely.
• Take care not to pinch the wire harnesses during installation of a part. If a wire harness has
damaged insulation, repair by winding with electrical insulating tape.
• When using an electrical tester like a volt/ohm meter or clamp on meter, read the manufacturer’s
operating instructions carefully before operating the tester. Be sure that the tester battery is fully
charged and the meter is functioning properly
