All crimps MUST be "pull-checked" to ensure
that wires are securely crimped. If crimps are
not secure they may disconnect and fall out with
moderate tension or when exposed to normal
machine vibration.

circuit with a verified machine ground. In the
event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns
the grounding reduces the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current.
