Removing, installing, and drying connectors and wiring harnesses
1.
Disconnecting connectors
A. Hold the connectors when disconnecting.
When disconnecting the connectors, hold the connectors. For
connectors held by a screw, loosen the screw fully, then hold the
male and female connectors in each hand and pull apart. For
connectors which have a lock stopper, press down the stopper
with your thumb and pull the connectors apart.
★
Never pull with one hand.
B. When removing from clips
Both the connector and clip have stoppers, which are engaged
with each other when the connector is installed.
C. When removing a connector from a clip, pull the connector in a
parallel direction to the clip for removing stoppers.
★
If the connector is twisted up and down or to the left or right, the
housing may break.
D. Action to take after removing connectors
After removing any connector, cover it with a vinyl bag to pre-
vent any dust, dirt, oil, or water from getting in the connector
portion.
★
If the machine is left disassembled for a long time, it is particu-
larly easy for improper contact to occur, so always cover the
connector.
