Couple of questions about this.  I blew a fuse last night pushing the hand control north declination button without any load on it (I dont have a declination motor on my 16").  It is a 1 amp fuse and of course I dont have any but have a lot of 1/2 amp normal  and 1/2 amp slow-blow.  Put a  normal 1/2A in an so far it seems okay, hoping it will do until I get to the auto store or hardware store later in the week.  Anything wrong with this?  Next question, is there any owners manuals for this online?  I cant seem to find any but perhaps someone here can load a copy if they have the time? Any comments would be welcome.
