8.4 ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARD
The electronic circuit board is a component
fitted below the dashboard which
manages all machine safety devices.
8.4.1 Electronic circuit board
protection device (for rear
collection models only)
• The electronic circuit board is located
below the dashboard and fitted with a
self-setting protection which breaks the
circuit if there is a fault or short circuit
on the electrical system (chap. 14).
8.4.2 Electronic circuit board protection
fuse (for side discharge models only)
• The electronic circuit board is located below
the dashboard and fitted with a fuse which
breaks the circuit if there is a fault or short
circuit on the electrical system (chap. 14).
8.5 REPLACING A FUSE
The machine is fitted with fuses (fig. 41.A) with
different capacities and functions. Specifically:
– 10 A fuse = protects the main and power
circuits of the electronic circuit board.
When it blows, the machine stops and
the dashboard light switches off (for rear
discharge models only (par. 5.11)
– 25 A fuse = protects the battery
recharge circuit. When it blows, the
battery gradually runs down and the
machine will have problems starting.
The fuse capacity is indicated on the fuse.
IMPORTANT A blown fuse must always be
replaced by one of the same type and ampere
rating, and never with one of another rating.
If you are unable to understand why it
has blown , contact Your Dealer.

8.6.2 Type "ll" - LED light bulbs
• Loosen the lock nut (fig. 42.A) and
remove the connector (fig.42.B).
Remove the LED illuminator (fig. 42.C),
secured by screws (fig. 42.D).
8.7 REAR AXLE
