• Adjust the knob (as shown in the figure) from the
front of the vehicle.

CHANGING FUSES
Carefully read (MAINTENANCE).
Do not attempt to repair faulty fuses.
Never use any fuses other those specified.
Such use could damage the electrical system or
even cause a fire, in the event of a short-circuit.
NOTE If a fuse blows frequently, there is probably a
short circuit or overload in the electrical system. In this
case see an aprilia dealer.
• Check the fuses whenever an electric component
does not work or works irregularly, or if the vehicle
fails to start.
• First check the 3 A and 15 A fuses and then the
20-30 A fuses.
To check:
• Remove the battery cover, see (REMOVING THE
BATTERY COVER) or remove the front hood, see
(REMOVING THE FRONT HOOD).
• Remove the fuses one by one, and check to see
whether the filament (1) is blown.
• Before replacing the fuse, if possible, try to deter-
mine the cause of the problem.
• Replace any blown fuse with a new fuse with the
same amperage rating.
NOTE If you use the spare fuse, replace it as soon
as convenient.
• Replace the battery cover, see (REMOVING THE
BATTERY COVER) or replace the front hood, see
(REMOVING THE FRONT HOOD).
