Checking and changing fuses
The numbering of the fuse slots is printed or em-
bossed on the inside of the cover of or on the fuse
carrier.
Unassigned fuse slots are not listed in the following
overviews.
1. Switch off the load with the defective fuse if
possible.
2. Open the relevant fuse box cover.
3. If necessary, carefully remove the purple plastic
strip over the fuses.
4. Remove the fuse from its slot using the yellow
plastic gripper in order to check it. A blown fuse
can be identified by the melted metal strip.
5. Insert the new fuse. Only use fuses with the
same rating as the fuse you are replacing.
6. Fit the purple plastic strip back into place.
If the same fuse blows repeatedly, the cause of the
fault must be corrected immediately.
