Resetting the circuit breaker
The circuit breaker also acts as a battery isolator, but is
usually referred to as the circuit breaker. You will not
normally need to change the circuit breaker, as you can
reset it when it has tripped. It is located on the underside
of the chassis, above the right, rear wheel, see fig. 52.
The circuit breaker is protected from dirt and water by a
rubber lip, which can easily be folded back.
Changing the circuit breaker
1. Switch off the main switch on the control panel.
2. Put the circuit breaker to the “OFF” position,
see fig. 52.
3. Remove the battery cover and chassis cover,
see page 8.
4. Disconnect the battery positive lead, which is
between the battery and the circuit breaker.
5. Remove the circuit breaker by removing the two
screws, see fig. 53.
6. Disconnect the cables from the circuit breaker
by loosening the screws, see fig. 54.
7. Connect the cables to the new circuit breaker. Put the
