WARNINGS

• To prevent arcing and avoid unnecessary wear that voids your warranty, always

disconnect battery before inserting the tool.

• If any arcing is found during installation or use, disconnect immediately and

recheck system.

• Do not connect to areas that have been subjected to heat from loose fuse contact

(i.e. melted plastic housing in area of fuse for the circuit to be tested).

• Do not connect to loose or corroded contacts—this can cause arcing, extreme

heat, or re.

• Do not assume that the fuse removed is the proper rated amperage for that circuit.

Check vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for proper fuse size.

• Do not store or use in temperatures exceeding 110°F or below 40°F.

THIS TOOL IS NOT TO BE STORED OR OPERATED IN WET CONDITIONS.

INTRODUCTION The Fuse Saver® provides a fast and safe solution for troubleshooting short circuits without blowing fuses or damaging vehicle electrical systems. The kit includes resetting thermal-breaker handles which are color coded to match the vehicle fuses. Simply plug the Fuse Saver® directly into the fuse box in place of the troubled circuit’s fuse via the supplied 10 ft. dual type fuse box cable adapter. When a short is present, the breaker will pop.

PREPARATIONS FOR USE Before inserting the Fuse Adapter into the fuse box: • Read all warnings. • Disconnect the negative battery terminal on the vehicle. • Determine which circuit you want to test and what amperage rating the manufacturer requires for this circuit. (Verify proper fuse size by checking the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.) • Remove and inspect the fuse as well as the fuse connection identified as the troublesome circuit. Do not use the tool if a meltdown is found at the fuse terminal connection.
