REPLACING THE FUSES
If the amplifier shuts down, you might need to replace the power wire’s 10-amp
tube-type fuse (such as Cat. No. 270-1072, not supplied), the 10-amp blade-type
fuse (such as Cat. No. 270-1081, not supplied) on the back panel, or both fuses.
Cautions:
• Do not use fuses with ratings other than those specified here. Doing so
might damage your amplifier.
• After replacing a fuse, let the amplifier cool down before you turn it on
again.
Turn off your autosound system, then disconnect your vehicle battery’s negative
(
-
) terminal.
Replacing the Tube-Type Fuse
1. Grasp the two ends of the power
wire’s fuse holder and twist them
counterclockwise, then pull the
ends apart.
2. Insert a new 10-amp, tube-type fuse into the longer of the two fuse-holder’s
ends, then grasp the fuse-holder’s two ends, push them in and twist them
clockwise to secure them.
Replacing the Blade-Type Fuse
1. Grasp the fuse’s plastic end and
pull it out.
2. Grasp the new fuse’s plastic end and simply push it in.
