Grounding Guidelines
Caution
When establishing a good chassis ground, avoid areas that may be potentially
isolated from ground by a hinge or bad welds. It is extremely important that you
create clean, secure, tight, metal-to-metal grounds. If grounding terminals are not
available, remove the paint from the surface of the metal connected to the chassis to make
the ground. Make sure the wires are not strained or vulnerable to damage.
Making Electrical Connections
The following sections provide detailed guidelines to properly strip, butt splice, and crimp
wires for successful electrical connections.
Wire Stripping
Caution
Vibration can cause nicked wires to fail. Use care in stripping wires. Using wire
cutters, knives, or other tools can damage the conductor wire and/or insulation.
Knowing proper wire stripping techniques is essential for successful and safe electrical
connections of all system components.
To properly strip a wire follow these instructions:
1. Using a wire stripper, strip approximately 1/4" off the end of an insulated wire.
