Avoid routing harnesses in areas where the operator or service personnel might step or
use as a grab bar.
Note: Avoid applying direct spray or pressure washing of electrical components and
connections. High pressure streams and sprays can penetrate seals, cause corrosion, or
otherwise damage electrical components. When performing maintenance:
l
Inspect electrical components and connectors for corrosion, damaged pins or hous-
ings, etc. Repair or replace components or harnessing as necessary.
l
Ensure connectors are kept clean and dry. Apply dielectric grease to the sealing sur-
faces of all connections exposed to moisture, dirt, debris, and other contaminates.
Repair or replace harnessing as necessary.
l
Clean electrical components with pressurized air, aerosol electrical cleaning agent, or
low pressure rinse.
l
Remove visible surface water from electrical components and connections using pres-
surized air or an aerosol cleaning agent. Allow components to dry thoroughly before
reconnecting cables.
