Using this Blue Sea 187 - Series circuit breaker is easy. First, make sure you've chosen the right place on the panel for mounting. Then, use the #10 (M5) screws to secure it in place. Connect your heavy - gauge wire lugs to the terminal studs. When operating, the single lever gives you a clear way to control the circuit. Remember, don't use it as a switch when there are high inrush currents. For maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Check the terminals regularly for any signs of corrosion or loose connections. The breaker is waterproof, but try to avoid submerging it in water for long periods. It works well in temperatures from - 40°C to 85°C, so don't expose it to extreme heat or cold beyond these limits. If the breaker trips, it's a sign that there's a fault in the circuit. You can manually reset it after you've fixed the issue.
