This bank Wishes a most successful harvest season tov
Carson county.

WHAT YOU CAN DO WHEN YOU
‘Blow Out
M. Fuse'
TR&CE TkE fcAUSE,
When a fuse "bl6Ws but” a faulty appliance or a defective or
frstyfed cord may be the reason. Trace the cause and discon-
nect the lamp or appliance being used,
REPLACE THE FUSE.
Repiabihgj a “bloWn out” fuse with a new one is as simple
as* replacing a lamp bulb. FIRST, locate the main switch
near your meter box, and standing on dry surface, turn off
the electricity. SECOND, Unscrew the “blown out*’ fuse,
toUching dnly its top. You can tell Which fuse is “blown
out” By the- btinied patch in the window on top of the fuse.
*!THIRD, Replace the “blown out” fuse with one of eqtial
^mp^i*age, or size. Then turn on main switch.
FIX FAULTY PLUGS AND CORDS.
Wires connecting plugs should go; ardund the “ prongs, hot
direct to the screw connections. FRAYED CORDS should
be wrapped separately first with tape, then the two cords
should be whipped together. If cord is frayed near plug,
the framed portion Should be cht away and the new part
reinserted and connected to plug. When plugs do not fit
&nhjgiy, bend the prohgs outward slightly with a pair of
pliers, just enough to make a snug fit into socket.
If Your Are In Doubt, Call Your Electrician.
