are allowed to flow from the battery without restriction, then the wires carrying the electricity will
become hot enough to melt. The melting wires are extremely dangerous and can easily burn you.
Most problems in automotive electrical circuits are caused by poor connections. Make sure that all
connection points are clean and tight.
If the flow of electricity through a wire is interrupted due to a break in the wire or a poor connec-
tion, then the circuit is said to be “an open circuit”
The flow of electricity through a circuit always takes the path of least resistance. If there is an
accidental path of extremely low resistance created in a circuit, the circuit is said to have a “short
circuit” A short circuit will usually result in the melting of the fuse protecting that circuit.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
During the daily preventive inspection, check the functioning and the condition of the electrical
equipment. Inspect and or replace the spark plugs and ignition leads as required in the Service
Coupons. The gap is readjusted by bending the end of the side electrode.
Care of alternator. In the course of daily inspection, check the fastening of wires to the alternator
terminals, fastening of the alternator on the engine crankcase, backlash of the gears (by listening).
In case of too little backlash of the drive gear, excessive wear and overheating of the alternator
bearings take place.
Check for proper tightening of:
· nuts of the binding post bolts
· the alternator clamping screws
· the alternator fastening nuts
as often as outlined in the Service Coupons.
WARNING: Do not add any electrical accessories to your Ural motorcycle, as this may void
