Safety Information:
IMPORTANT - Read the following before starting the service procedure.
You must follow your company safety procedures when you service or repair
equipment. Be sure to understand all procedures and instructions before you begin
work on the unit. Some procedures require the use of special tools for safe and correct
service. Failure to use these special tools when required can cause injury to service
personnel or damage to vehicle components.
DISCLAIMER: INTERNATIONAL DOES NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR
CUSTOMER OR BODY BUILDER WIRING.
NOTE - After-market installed wiring for engine speed control must comply with the
following guidelines:
1. Sealed switches and connectors must be used for switches and connections that are
exposed to the weather or to salt spray emanating from the vehicle's tires.
2. Route and clip wiring to minimize chafing and exposure to weather. Use conduit,
loom, and/or tape to achieve this.
3. Fuse all power leads as close to the power source as possible. Remember fuses
protect the wiring - size fuses accordingly.
4. All ground connections that will be made to the frame or body must be connected to
clean bare metal. Remove all dirt, paint, grease and rust that would insulate the terminal
from ground. After connecting the ground, seal the connection with a good quality
grease or surface sealant to protect the connection from corrosion.
5. Spliced wires should be twisted together and soldered. Use a heat shrink tube with a
meltable inner wall to seal the connection. Do not expose splices to the weather.
