WARNING

IF A FUSE BLOWS

GENERAL

The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action (i.e.
it cuts off) mainly due to a fault or im-
proper action on the system.

When a device does not work, check the
efficiency of its fuse: the conductor ele-
ment A- fig. 55 must be intact. If not, re-
place the fuse with one of the same amp
rating (same colour).

B: undamaged fuse

C: fuse with damaged filament.

To replace a fuse, use the pliers D hooked
to the fusebox on the dashboard.

Never replace a fuse with
metal wires or anything else.

fig. 55

Never replace a fuse with
another with a higher amp

rating, DANGER OF FIRE.
