309519-10
Main work
– Remove the battery cover.
– Disconnect the negative (minus) cable of the battery.
– Measure the current between battery ground (−) and the negative cable.
Info
The value of the open-circuit current only applies to vehicles in the original
state, without additional power consumers.
Maximum open-circuit current < 1.0 mA
» If the measured value is greater than the specified value:
– Disconnect the voltage regulator from the wiring harness and take the mea-
surement again.
– Mount the battery cover.
Finishing work
– Mount the seat. ( p. 62)
13.8 Changing the main fuse
Warning
Fire hazard The electrical system can be overloaded if the wrong fuses are used.
– Use only fuses with the prescribed amperage. Never by-pass or repair fuses.
Info
The main fuse protects all power consumers in the vehicle. It is in the housing of the starter relay next to the battery.
Preparatory work
– Switch off all power consumers and switch off the engine.
– Remove the seat. ( p. 61)
