EPLACING THE MOTOR PROTECTION FUSE Switch the control box off. Unscrew fuse cover and exchange the old fuse for a new one with the same current rating (indicated on the control box cover next to the fuse). Voltage rating should be at least 50 V. Standard values 110V or 230V are appropriate. - Page 9 EPLACING BATTERIES If you notice that the distance over which the IR sensor is able to receive commands from the controller drops significantly, you should replace the remote controller batteries. To prevent accidental acid leakage, always use alkaline batteries, AAA/LR06 type. To insert batteries in the correct polarity direction, check the picture in the battery compartment.
