REPLACING A FUSE

If the amplifier does not operate, you might need to replace the red power cable’s 25-amp SFE-type fuse or the 25-amp blade-type fuse on the amplifi- er’s back panel. Check both fuses.

Important: Let the amplifier cool down and see if it starts again before you assume a fuse needs to be re- placed.

Caution: Do not use a fuse with rat- ings other than those specified here. Doing so might damage your amplifi- er.

Replacing the SFE-Type Fuse

1.Disconnect the cable from the vehicle’s negative (–) battery ter- minal.

2.Push together and twist the fuse holder’s parts on the red power cable until they spring apart. Then remove the fuse.

3.If the fuse is blown, replace it. Use only an SFE-type fuse with the proper rating (available at many automotive supply stores). The fuse must be 25 amps.

4.Reassemble the fuse holder by inserting the fuse into the longer of the fuse holder’s ends, and pushing together and twisting the two parts until they latch.

5.Reconnect the cable to the vehi- cle’s negative (–) battery terminal.
