Resetting the circuit breaker
The circuit breaker also acts as a battery isolator, but is
usually referred to as the circuit breaker. You will not
normally need to change the circuit breaker, as you can
reset it when it has tripped. It is located on the underside
of the chassis, above the right, rear wheel, see fig. 52.
The circuit breaker is protected from dirt and water by a
rubber lip, which can easily be folded back.
A tripped circuit breaker often means that there is a
serious electrical fault. Check the cause thoroughly
before you reset the circuit breaker.

2. Put the circuit breaker to the "OFF" position,
see fig. 52.
