11. Before removing a faulty component, refer to the
WorkshopManual for removal procedures. Ensure
the starter switch is turned to the ’OFF’ position,
the battery is disconnected and any disconnected
harnesses are supported to avoid any undue strain
at terminals. When replacing the component keep
oily hands away from electrical connection areas
and push connector’s home until any locking tabs
fully engage.
12.Battery charging
Recharge the battery out of the vehicle and keep
the top well ventilated. While being charged or
discharged, and for approximately fifteen minutes
afterwards, batteries emit hydrogen gas. This gas
is inflammable.
Always ensure any battery charging area is well
ventilated and that every precaution is taken to avoid
naked flames and sparks.
c. Remove connectors which have catches by
pressing in the direction indicated by arrows in
the illustration.
d. Connect connectors which have catches by
inserting the connectors until a “snap” noise is
heard.
e. Dirt / corroded terminals result in improper
contact. The terminals should be cleaned
carefully. Improper ontact pressure between
mating terminals disturbs the connectivity
between them.
Replace the damaged connector body to avoid
exposure of the terminals in case of in
adequate contact pressure.
Ensure proper connection between the
terminals to the wire. Rectify the loose
connection by repairing / replacing the wire
harness.
Worn out insulation of the wire may result in
short circuit Avoid water entering in the
connectors.
