Replacing the fusesThe fuse boxes, which contains the
fuses for the individual circuits, are lo-
cated under the rider seat. (See page
3-18.)
If a fuse for the individual circuits is
blown, replace it as follows.
1. Turn the key to “OFF” and turn off
the electrical circuit in question.
2. Remove the blown fuse, and then
install a new fuse of the specified
amperage. WARNING! Do not
use a fuse of a higher amperage
rating than recommended to
avoid causing extensive dam-
age to the electrical system and
possibly a fire.
