REPLACING FUSE

If  a  fuse  has  blown,  remove  the  electrical
cover, open the fuse holder and remove the
fuse  with  a  fuse  puller. Replace  it  with  a
spare one of proper amperage.

w

Be  sure  to  use  the  specified  fuse. An
incorrect  fuse  or  a  piece  of  wire  may
allow  excessive  current  flow. This  could
cause  electrical  system  damage  and  a
fire hazard.

NOTE:

If  the  new  fuse  blows  again  immediately,
consult a Yamaha dealer.
