Using the Inline Fuse
A snap-twist inline fuse holder is furnished as part of this kit. It
must be connected as close as possible (electrically and
physically) to the forklift power source. It provides catastrophic
failure, short-circuit protection for the entire input power cable
and the power supply input. The fuse holder contains a 3AB, 20
A/250 Vx (.25 inch x 1.25 inch) fast-blow fuse recommended for
installations with 12 V automotive batteries. For other vehicle
battery voltages, please refer to the table below. These alternate
fuses are not provided with the kit and must be obtained
separately. In general, smaller fuse ratings offer faster acting
protection.
Note:
If your fuse fails, diagnose the problem and then correct it
before replacing the fuse with the exact same size and type you
are replacing.
