NOTE:

Points to note when working on dashboard:

Cleanliness: workplace must be free from dust, dirt, oil, solvents etc.

• Always wash your hands before taking the dashboard apart. Do not use hand cream or hand lotion after washing. If using gloves, these must be thin cotton cloth. Synthetic materials could lead to a static buildup.

• Printed circuit board must not be exposed to static electricity.

• Do not touch printed circuit board or instrument scale surfaces.

• Do not move needles so they change position. They are calibrated at the factory. Moving them may make instruments read wrongly.
