FUSE SPECIFICATION CHART

compartment attached to the positive
battery post. This box contains several high
current fuses. If you need to replace one
of these high current fuses, see an
authorized dealer.

WARNINGS

servicing high current fuses. WARNINGS
To reduce risk of electrical shock,
always replace the cover to the
power distribution box before
reconnecting the battery or refilling fluid
reservoirs. The power distribution box is in the engine
