Resetting the circuit breaker
The circuit breaker also serves as a battery isolator but
is normally referred to as a circuit breaker.
Circuit breaker replacement is normally not required; it
is of the automatic type that can be reset when tripped.
It is mounted on the chassis to the right of the seat
elevator; see figure 70.
NOTE
A tripped circuit breaker often entails a major electrical fault. The
cause should be carefully investigated before resetting.
