[Johnson] Ranger Question

[manualman at juno.com]

Originally, one AC side uses a 3A slow blow fuse and the other AC side
uses a 5A fast blow fuse. Johnson designers probably felt one or the
other fuse would blow under any crazy condition.
If you replace the AC cord with a 3-wire variety, a single 5A fast blow
fuse would be sufficient.
