DESCRIPTION

When
an
overcunent

exceeding
the
rated

amperage

flows
to
a
circuit
the

fuse
is
heated
and
melted
the

circuit
is

interrupted
and

thus
cables
and

electrical

equipment
are

protected
from

damaging
due
to

burning
or

damaging
is

limited
to
the

minimum
This
vehicle

is

equipped
with
six

fuses
and

one
fusible
link
The
fuses

are

located

in
the

fuse
box
and
used

to

protect
illumination

signal
and
other

systems
and
the
fusible
link
is

adopted

in
the
cable
between
the

battery
and
alternator
to

protect

the

charging
and

starting
circuits

so
that

they
do
not
come

into

highly

7
Cables
should
be

securely
clamped
in

posItions

sufficiently
separated
from

rotating
parts
such

Cables
should
be

provided
with
an

optimum
extra

length
at
sections

stationarity
on
the

or
at
sections

where
vibration

occurs
due

INSPECTION

In
the

most

cases
fuse
can
be

checked

visually

However
when

it
is
difficult
to

check

visually
a
circuit

tester

may
be
used

The
fusible
link
can

be

inspected

visually
or

by

feeling
on

finger

tip
However
the
fusible

link
can
be

inspected
more

correctly

by
using
a
circuit

tester
