Servicing the FusesThe electrical system is protected by fuses. It requiresno maintenance; however, if a fuse blows, check thecomponent/circuit for a malfunction or short.1. The fuses are located on right side behind the seat.2. To replace the fuses, pull out the fuse to remove it.3. Install a new fuse.Adjusting the Safety SwitchesAdjust all safety switches so the plunger extends 4.8 mmto 6.4 mm (3/16 inch to 1/4 inch) from switch body whenplunger is compressed (Figure 48).Figure 48Jump Starting the Machine1. Check and clean corrosion from the battery terminalsbefore jump-starting. Ensure that the connections aretight.CAUTIONCorrosion or loose connections can causeunwanted electrical voltage spikes at any timeduring the jump-starting procedure.Do not attempt to jump-start with loose orcorroded battery terminals, or damage to theengine may occur.DANGERJump-starting a weak battery that is crackedor frozen, or has a low electrolyte level oran open/shorted battery cell can cause anexplosion resulting in serious personal injury.Do not jump-start a weak battery if theseconditions exist.2. Make sure that the booster battery is a good and fullycharged lead-acid battery at 12.6 V or greater. Useproperly sized jumper cables with short lengths toreduce voltage drop between systems. Make sure thatthe cables are color coded or labeled for the correctpolarity.WARNINGBatteries contain acid and produce explosivegases.• Shield the eyes and face from the batteriesat all times.• Do not lean over the batteries.• Be certain of battery terminal polarity andjumper cable polarity when hooking upbatteries.Note: Be sure that the vent caps are tight and level.Place a damp cloth, if available, over any vent capson both batteries. Be sure the vehicles do not touchand that both electrical systems are off and at thesame rated system voltage. These instructions are fornegative ground systems only.3. Connect the positive (+) cable to the positive (+)terminal of the discharged battery that is wired to thestarter or solenoid as shown in Figure 49.Figure 491.

Connect the black negative (–) cable to the otherterminal (negative) of the booster battery.6. Make the final connection on the engine blockof the stalled vehicle (not to the negative batterypost) away from the battery and stand back.7. Start the vehicle and remove the cables in thereverse order of connection (the engine block (black)connection is the first to disconnect).41
