Safety locks

Safety locks serve to break off a chain, when the current strength will reach certain value to protect elements and wires which can be damaged too strong current. The sharp increase in a current strength is usually caused by malfunction in a chain, more often short circuit.

Designations of the chains protected by safety locks, are specified on a cover of the block of safety locks.

Before safety lock removal switch off a corresponding chain (or ignition), then get a safety lock from contacts. In a safety lock the wire should be visible; if the safety lock has fused, the wire will be torn or fused.

Always use safety locks of demanded capacity. Never use a safety lock of other capacity and do not replace it with something another.

Do not replace a safety lock more than once, without having eliminated a malfunction source. The current protected by a safety lock, is specified from above on a safety lock: pay attention that safety locks have various colours for simplification of identification.

If the safety lock fuses right after replacements, do not replace it again, yet do not establish, and do not eliminate a cause of defect. In most cases a cause of defect is the short circuit caused by a low insulation. If the safety lock protects some chains, try to find a chain because of which fuses a safety lock, including each of chains by turns (if it is possible). Always have in the car the complete set of spare safety locks of various capacity. They should be fixed at the basis of the block of safety locks.
