Electrical System Maintenance

Wiring and Connections
The generator electrical system incorporates computers
to control various components. The electrical system
connectors and grounds require good connections. When
inspecting the electrical system, check the following:
• Check positive (+) and negative (-) battery cables for
corrosion, rubbing, chafing, burning, and make sure
tight connections at both ends.
• Check battery for cracks or damage to the case.
Replace as necessary.
• Inspect engine wire harness for rubbing, chafing,
pinching, burning, and cracks or breaks in the wiring.
• Verify that the engine harness connectors are correctly
locked in.
• Inspect ignition coil wire for hardening, cracking,
chafing, burning, separation, and split boot covers.
• Inspect spark plug wires for hardening, cracking,
chafing, burning, separation, and split boot covers.
• Replace spark plugs at the required intervals listed in
the maintenance chart.
• Verify that all electrical components are securely
mounted to the engine or chassis.
• Verify that any additional electrical services installed by
the owner are properly installed in the system.
