DESCRIPTION

Cables
are
covered
with
color

coded

vinyl
for

easy
identification
In

the

wiring
diagram
colors
are
indicated

by

one
or

two

alphabetical
letters

It
is
recommended
that
the

battery

be
disconnected
before

performing

any
electrical
service
other
than

bulb

or
fuse

replacement

In
addition
to
fuses
a
fusible
link

has
been

installed
to

protect
wiring

The
fusible
link
functions
almost
the

same
as
a

fuse

though
its
eharac

teristics

are
slightly
different
than

normal
fuses

to
elimi

nate
cause
of

is
made

Poor

contact
in

any
fuse

will

often
lead
to

voltage
drop

heating
in

and
could

result
in

can
be
de

either

by
visual

inspection
or

by

feeling
with

If
its

use
circuit
