taps and fuse clips for the appropriate circuits. The
engine wiring harness and forward lamp harness
connectors are bolted to the fuse panel.
All wiring systems not protected by a fuse or circuit
breaker incorporate a fusible link which provides
increased overload protection. The starting motor circuit
is the exception.
Composite wiring diagrams are included in a separate
manual which was supplied with this manual. The
standardized color code is common to all wiring
harnesses. The wire covering color designates a
particular circuit usage.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
Maintenance of the lighting units and wiring system
consists of an occasional check to see that all wiring
connections are tight and clean, that the lighting units
are securely mounted to provide good ground and that
the headlamps are properly adjusted. Loose or corroded
connections may cause a discharged battery, difficult
starting, dim lights, and possible damage to the A.C.
generator. Wire harnesses must be replaced if insulation
becomes burned, cracked, or deteriorated. Whenever it is
necessary to splice a wire or repair one that is broken,
always use solder to bond the splice. Always use rosin
flux solder on electrical connections. Use insulating tape
to cover all splices or bare wires.
When replacing wires, it is important that the correct
size be used. Never replace a wire with one of a smaller
size. Fusible links in the wiring are four gauge sizes
smaller than the cable it is designed to protect. The links
are marked on the insulation with wire gauge size
because of the heavy insulation which makes the link
appear a heavier gauge than it actually is.
Each harness and wire must be held securely in place by
clips or other holding devices to prevent chafing or
wearing away the insulation due to vibration.
By referring to the wiring diagram manual, circuits may
be tested for continuous circuit or shorts with a
conventional test lamp or low reading volt meter.

The headlamps must be properly aimed to obtain
maximum road illumination.
The headlamps must be checked for proper aim
whenever a sealed beam unit is replaced and after
repairs of the front end sheet metal assembly.
Regardless of the method used for checking headlamp
aim, the truck must be at normal weight, that is with gas,
oil, water and spare tire. Tires must be inflated to
specified pressures.
Some states have special requirements for headlamp
aiming adjustment and these requirements must be
known and followed.
Horizontal and vertical aiming of each sealed beam is
provided by two adjusting screws visible through the
bezel which move the mounting ring against the tension
of the coil spring (fig. 2).
There is no adjustment for focus since the sealed beam
unit is set for focus during manufacturing assembly.
