Replacing the fuses
Fuses, replacing
The main fuse and the fuse box,

vidual circuits, are located behind

cC8Always keep the battery
charged. Storing a discharged
battery can cause permanent
battery damage.
8To charge a sealed-type (MF)
battery, a special (constant-
voltage) battery charger is
required. Using a conventional
battery charger will damage
the battery. If you do not have
access to a sealed-type (MF)
battery charger, have a
Yamaha dealer charge your
battery.
2. Remove the blown fuse, and
then install a new fuse of the
specified amperage.
