Always Disconnect battery cables before using an external charger to prevent damage to electrical system components. Always Disconnect battery cables before working on the electrical system to prevent injury caused by electric shock.
When it is necessary to work on the electrical system with power on, for fault diagnosis, always have a safety man in attendance Any dust found on the machine or produced during work on the machine should be removed by extraction, not by blowing.
