'.~

The

DC

harness

on

the

engine

is

protected

by

an engine

mounted

manual reset circuit breaker

(20

amps DC).

Excessive

current

draw

or electrical

overload

anywhere

in

the

instrument panel

wiring

or

engine

wiring

will cause

the

breaker

to

trip.

In

this

event most

engines

will shut

down

because

the opened

breaker

disconnects

the fuel

supply.

If

this

should

occur,

check

and repair the

source

of

the

problem.

After

repairing the

fault,

reset the

breaker

and restart

the

.

engine.
