Fuses
The fuse panel (1, Figure 4-11) is located in the side of
the kick panel, below the seat.
The main fuse (2) is located in the electrical box in the
upper left engine compartment. See “Main Fuse Box
with Relays” on page 1-7.
To replace a fuse, remove the panel cover and pull the
old fuse from the socket. Install a new fuse of the same
rating and re-install the fuse panel cover.

found on pages 1-7 to 1-8.

Battery
In case of acid contact, wash immediately with water
for several minutes. In case of eye contact, get medical
attention immediately.
Inspect and check the machine’s electrical
equipment at regular intervals. Defects, such
as loose connections or scorched cables
much be repaired before using the machine.
Work on the machine’s electrical system
must be done only by a trained technician.
Blown fuses indicate electrical system mal-
functions. Determine what caused the fuse
to blow and repair the problem before
replacing the fuse.
Before servicing the battery or electrical sys-
tem, disconnect battery from the electrical
system by turning the battery disconnect
switch to the “OFF” position.
Explosive gas is produced while a battery is
in use or being charged. Keep flames or
sparks away from the battery area. ALWAYS
charge the battery in a wellventilated area.
Do not jump-start a frozen battery, or it may
explode. A discharged battery can freeze at
14°F (10°C).
To prevent short circuits keep metal parts on
your clothing and metal watchbands away
from the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
Never lay a metal object on top of a battery,
because a short circuit can result. Battery
acid is harmful to skin and fabrics. If acid
spills, follow these first-aid tips:
Immediately remove any clothing on which
acid spill.
• If acid contacts skin, rinse the affected
area with running water for 10 to 15 minutes.
• If acid contacts eyes, flood eyes with run-
ning water for 10 to 15 minutes. See a doctor
at once. Never use any medication or eye
drops unless prescribed by the doctor.
• To neutralize acid spilled on the floor, use
one of the following mixtures:
• 0.5 kg (1 lbs.) of baking soda in 4 L (4
qts.) of water.
