Notes on electrical fuses
& WARNING Risk of accident and injury due
to overloaded lines
If you manipulate or bridge a faulty fuse or if
you replace it with a fuse with a higher amper-
age, the electric line could be overloaded.
This could result in a fire.
Always replace faulty fuses with speci-

amperage.

Using incorrect fuses can result in damage to
electrical components or systems or their

Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of the
same rating, which you can recognise by the col-

information to be observed can be found in the
