Turn the main switch to the On position, then turn the 12V DC output switch to the On position. WARNING! • The 12V DC power outlets are protected by a fuse which prevents damage to the unit in case of short circuit or overdrawn current (amps). If the fuse blows, turn the main power switch to the Off position, disconnect 12V accessory and replace fuse (see maintenance section).
1. First make sure the main power switch is in the Off position. 2. Pull the fuse out from the fuse socket on the front panel. 3. Check the filament between the two blades, if it is broken or melted, replace it with the replacement fuse supplied or a fast-acting ATC-15 or equivalent blue automotive blade-type fuse. WARNING! • Never replace the fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating. MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustments should be performed by an authorized service center or other qualified service technician, always using identical replacement parts.
