WARNING:

Never use a fuse of a higher/lower amperage than that of the rated value 
- a Higher value can give rise to a fi re hazard is a fault occurs and a lower 
value may cause fuse failure when the lights are turned on (not very helpful 
when it’s dark).

Original Equipment: 

Always use original parts of the recommended specifi cation when replac-
ing electrical/mechanical components 

Cleaning and storage:

Your new car should be cleaned on a regular basis. This stops the ingress of 
corrosion, maintains the paint fi nish and give the chance to observe any-
thing that may be broken or damaged.

Checking the Fuse:

Turn of the master switch, then check the fuse to see if it is blown. Replace 
a blown fuse with one of the specifi ed capacity.

• Always 

fi nd out the cause before replacing a blown fuse.

• 

Unscrew the two battery screws and remove the battery - the fuse is 

located in the fuse box by the side of the battery.
• 

Open the fuse box and remove the fuse by expanding the fuse 

clamp from both ends of the fuse.
• 

When removing the fuse, do not expand the fuse clamp too wide.

• 

After the new fuse is installed, check the fuse clamp to see if it runs 

loose. The fuse will generate heat if the fuse clamp is loose, this is quite 
often a cause of trouble.
