CHANGING THE FUSES
Carefully read page 39
(MAINTENANCE).
CAUTION
Do not repair faulty fuses.
Never use a fuse of a rating other than
specified. This could damage the
electric system or cause a short circuit,
with the risk of fire.
NOTE When a fuse fitted in a particular
position keeps blowing frequently, there
might be a short circuit or overloading.
When this is the case, contact an aprilia
Authorised dealer.
Checking the fuses is recommended
whenever an electric component fails to
operate or is malfunctioning, or when the
engine does not start.
Check the 3 A and the 15 A fuses first and
then the 30A fuses.
Check as follows:
u Remove the battery cover, see page 63
(REMOVING THE BATTERY COVER)
or (
only) remove the front
cover, see page 58 (REMOVING THE
FRONT COVER).
u Extract all fuses one by one and check
for blown fuses. A blown fuse is
identified by the filament (1) in the centre
being broken.
u Before replacing a fuse, identify the
cause of the failure, if possible.
u Replace the blown fuse with a new one
with equal current rating.
NOTE When you use one of the spare
fuses, remember to add a new spare fuse
into the proper seat.
u Refit the battery cover, see page 63
(REMOVING THE BATTERY COVER) or
( only) refit the front cover, see
page 58 (REMOVING THE FRONT
COVER).
