5.9 WIRING HARNESS
Inspect the external cabling for abrasion, stretched or pinched wires. If such a condition is seen, reroute
the cabling and wrap it to protect it from further damage. If a broken wire is found, temporarily repair it by
stripping the wire back on either side of the break, twisting it together and soldering the connection (USE
ONLY ROSIN CORE SOLDER). The bare connection must be well insulated with heat shrinkable tubing
or electrical tape.
MID-TECH strongly recommends replacement of damaged cables as soon as possible. Once a cable is
damaged, moisture and chemicals can work their way under the insulation and cause corrosion to the
conductor. In the end, continued problems will be experienced until the cable is replaced.
Periodically inspect the connectors on all cables. Use a non-lubricating spray solvent to clean connec-
tors. Lubricating sprays leave a film which collects dirt and will eventually lead to connector failure.
Clean connectors with a soft swab, like a Q-TIP. Do not use abrasive materials to clean connector
contacts.
Check all fuses and fuse holders for any signs of corrosion and clean as necessary. There are fuses on
the power connections at the battery, some boom control cables have a fuse for each boom section, and
some of the newer motorized boom valves have fuses in the connector cables.
