Unscrew the end of the DC plug.
Slide the fuse out. Note: Be careful to keep the cap end
of the charger together. Also, keep track of the spring that is on the other
end of the fuse inside the charger.
Insert new 5A Buss fuse. If the fuse is good, reinsert
the fuse. Note: Be sure to place the spring in the charger before inserting
the fuse.
