CHANGING FUSES
Carefully read p. 55 (MAINTENANCE).
Do not repair faulty fuses.
Use only recommended fuses.
Using fuses of an improper capacity can
cause damage to the electrical system or
an electrical fire, which could result in
total destruction of your vehicle as well
as injury to you.
NOTE
If a fuse blows frequently, there
probably is a short circuit or an overload in
the electrical system. If this occurs, take the
vehicle to your Local
aprilia Dealer.
If an electric component does not work or
works irregularly, or if the vehicle fails to start,
it is necessary to check the fuse (1).
CAUTION
To check the fuse:
♦ Turn the ignition switch (2) in the “ ” (OFF)
position.
♦ Remove the battery/tool kit compartment
cover, see p. 35 (BATTERY / TOOL KIT
COMPARTMENT).
♦ Remove the tool kit compartment (3).
♦ Remove the fuse (1) and inspect the
filament (4). If it is open, the fuse must be
replaced.
♦ Replace the blown fuse with the spare fuse
(5), or with a new fuse having the same
amperage rating.
If you replace the fuse and it blows again
immediately, there is a serious problem
with the electrical system of your vehicle.
Do not attempt to continue using your
vehicle. Take it to your Local
aprilia
Dealer for repair and service.
NOTE
If you use the spare fuse (5), replace
it as soon as convenient.
