FUSES & CIRCUIT BREAKER
One 5 amp, two 15-amp fuses and a fusible link are
incorporated for the protection of the entire wiring circuit.
The link can be replaced if the total loss of electrical
function results. They are located under the control panel to
the right of the seat (Fig. 52). If total loss of electrical
function occurs, find and correct the malfunction before
replacing the fusible link.
