a.
Cleaning and Inspection.
(1) Clean paralleling cable (Figure 4-54) with filtered compressed air and an electrician’s brush or wipe
with a clean, lint-free cloth lightly moistened with an approved solvent.
(2) Visually inspect paralleling cable for chafing, deterioration, and other damage.
(3) Check electrical connectors for bent or broken pins, stripped or damaged threads, cracks, corrosion
and other damage.
b. Testing.
(1) Test individual wires for continuity with an ohmmeter or continuity light.
(2) Check between pins of each terminal for short circuits.
Do not use acid core solder on electrical wiring. Equipment damage could
result if caution is not observed.
