what size fuse for a 12v bruno scooter jr lift?

[boggen]

obtained from craiglist a "bruno 550 scooter jr lift" and toss in to back of mom's truck. so she could lift some lighter stuff into it. primarily a push mower, gas cans, (more so garage sale stuff she finds), etc... up to 200lbs. 12v electric with bush buttons and water proof.

some images googled used electric scooter wheelchair lift

was wondering what size fuse to use for it?

all i had was a 10amp fuse and holder that i cut off from an old car radio. put a little bit of load on it and fuse blew. i figured as much would happen. just hoping it would last a little bit longer, till i had a chance to call some place. to find out what correct size fuse i can use for it.

numbers that i can pull off the motor on it...
024422 (peeled off)
12v 02-28-01
01090406320
1-800-882-8183 tried calling but ended up getting sent to some local dealers and no direct manufacture contact. yet to get through to any dealer that might have info.


sorry for night pictures. just obtained some heat shrink and couple misc wire terminals, and the patch job done is still an ugly mess. and trying to hide it *is my excuse for now*

How big is the wire hooked to the motor? For 10 gauge figure 30 amps, 12 gauge about 20.

For something like that I'd probably put an auto reset breaker instead of a fuse.
