Location
General
The fuses and relays for the truck are located under the cover in the middle of the
instrument panel. A number of relays are
located under the mug holder. Fuses and relays for the superstructure are located under
the panel, in front of the passenger.
To access fuses and relays: Tighten the
mug holder, slacken off the two screws and
lift off the cover.
Under the cover, there are labels which
show the location of the fuses and relays,
and what components they are relevant
to.
The ordinary exterior lighting of the truck
is controlled by a lighting control unit. This
contains control functions for each lighting
circuit. Fuses are no longer used for these
functions. If a circuit is broken, for
example, because of overloading or a shortcircuit, the driver will be informed by a
message in the instrument panel. The function is restored when the fault has been
corrected.

Fuses

Main fuses
Main fuses are located in a main fuse box
inside the battery box on the frame. The
four fuses are screwed into the fuse box using spring washers and nuts. It is important
that the nuts are tightened to the correct
torque. See table. If they are not tightened
enough, heat can be generated. Over tightening can cause deformation and cracking.

Warning! Use the correct tightening

torque. Do not forget the spring washers.

M8

Normally the fuses last as long as the truck

without blowing. Should a fuse blow, the
truck should be put in to the workshop for
a check of the electrical system.

Fuses

In the relay and fusebox

The fuses in the central electrical unit are
blade fuses, two types are used. If a fuse in
the same fuse holder has to be changed frequently, the truck should be taken to the
workshop to check the electrical system.
Note! Switch off the current before changing a fuse. The fuse holder can burn out if
the current is switched on.

Warning! Always use the stipulated

size of fuse. Never use a higher rated
fuse.
