INTRODUCTION
Wiring diagrams are provided for general repair methods consisting of replacing wire leads, cables, harnesses,
terminals, connectors, etc., rather than splicing wires, bending ends to form terminals, and other make shift
procedures. Make shift repair procedures may be appropriate for emergency field repairs, but should be properly
repaired as soon as possible.
General Wiring Repair
WARNING
Rotating parts and lethal voltage levels are used in operating the MTRCS. Be sure
power source is disconnected. Injury or death can occur if connected to power
source.
1. Shut down MTRCS (TM 10-8415-222-10, Operating Procedures).
2. Open or remove covers and panels as necessary to access repair area (WP 0013, Remove).
CAUTION
Extreme cold can cause electrical wire leads and insulation to become brittle. Do not
disturb electrical wiring that has been exposed to extremely low temperatures.
Damage to electrical wire leads or insulation can result if disturbed under these
conditions.
3. If access to a repair requires removal of a component, refer to the Repair or Replace task for that component
for removal instructions.
4. Cut and discard tie straps as necessary to make the repair.
5. Tag the wire lead, cable, or harness ends as necessary.
6. Disconnect wire lead, cable, or harness ends.
7. Cut off and discard splices or crimp nuts.
8. Disconnect connectors and cut off pins with housing as necessary.
