Default Does the '08 Sportsman 400 have fuses ?

I found one 3 amp 'inline fuse' and that's all. I found a plug by the right front strut and unplugged it and there a 3 things about an 1" long, copper or brass in color and they were marked 10 & 15 , amp I guess. Are these the fuses and do I need to have some spares of these or are they some kind of circuit breaker?

The owners manual is no help and does not mention fuses any where except in the trouble shooting where it says, "if the engine won't turn over, check fuse".
It does'nt bother to say where the fuse is.
Can anybody help?

The 400HO uses circuit breakers that self reset. No spares required.

Thanks Mongrol, I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Is that what those copper colored things are where the 4 or so red wires and one orange wire plug into up high in the right front fender are?

Yes, they look like fuses in a circuit breaker holder.

The wires are:

orange and white - accessory.
red and while - LH control (input)
red and black - fan switch, key switch, LH Control (output)
& additional key switch

Don't feel bad. Me too. I took the info right out of the repair manual and it didn't give info on the abreviation.
