CHANGING A FUSE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system: they cut in (i.e. they
blow) in the event of a fault or improper action on the sys-
tem.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse when a device
does not work: the filament A-fig. 188 must be intact. If it
is not, replace the blown fuse with a new one of the same
amperage (same colour).
B undamaged fuse
C fuse with damaged filament.
