Fuses That "Blow" Repeatedly
Without being able to "hands on" troubleshoot the circuit served by the repeatedly blowing fuse, no one can identify the specific cause/defect which is causing your problem.
The following generic answer applies to any electrical circuit, whether in a vehicle, or in a building, or whether alternating current [AC] or direct current [DC].
Fuses [and Circuit Breakers] are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] and other components from short circuit conditions and/or overload conditions which cause an extremely large flow of electrical current [measured in Amperes], which causes overheating of the conductors that results in damage to the insulation and the conductors. And in a worst case scenario, the probability of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle, house, or other structure in which the circuit is located.
When a fuse or Circuit Breaker [and replacement fuses, or "tripping" Circuit Breakers] "blow," especially if it happens repeatedly, is an indication of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit, usually a short.
The fuse or circuit breaker is doing what it was designed, intended, and installed to do, protect the conductors and components of the circuit which it serves.
The proper "fix" is for a qualified technician, who knows what he or she is doing, to troubleshoot the involved circuit, find and identify the defect, and make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse or before resetting a circuit breaker].
Some ignorant few will suggest installing a larger fuse or breaker to solve the problem, BUT that will only increase the hazard, not correct it. Do not follow "bad" advice by installing a larger fuse in a misguided attempt to correct the problem. To install an over-sized fuse would almost guarantee damage to the wiring and an electrical system fire.
Your problem suggests a "intermittent" short circuit condition. The "incline" part suggests a wire that has had the insulation worn off or cut, contacts a ground [usually a sharp edge of the body sheet metal] due to gravity causing the wire to change positon when on an incline.
You need to carefully inspect every inch of wiring and components in that circuit served by the blowing 30 Amp fuse. Pay particular attention to any point where the wire [or harness] curves around an edge of sheet metal, or that goes through a narrow space between two pieces of sheet metal where it could be pinched, thus damaging the insulation. Good luck.
Draw power to your amp. DIRECTLY from he battery, with an "In-Line Fuse"--- thus eliminating any overload on the head fuse
You have a short.
If a 30 amp blows you have a short somewhere. Depends for which circuit, you will have to track it from the unit back to the fuse.
Very likely the starter is bad.
You can replace a higher rating fuse with a lower rating provided it works with the device without constantly blowing. So try the 30 amp fuse in your lawnmower and if it doesn't blow and the mower works okay, you are fine. If it blows you will have to go back to 40.
If you are asking can I put a 10 amp fuse in instead of a 5 amp ,the answer is yes. However do not leave it in there. It is ok in an emergency, if the 10 blows right away , then you will have to find your problem.. Always try to keep the proper size fuses installed.

A 20 amp fuse should be safe to use.Did someone take it out because it blows fuses?? Mark
The 12 Amp fuse will take a larger current before it blows (or trips) - than a 10 Amp one.
fuse is under the hood by passenger side in fuse box labled as amp is a 25 watt fuse...there is another by passenger door in the vehicle also labled amp

Only if you want to blow up the microwave. That will let 20 amps go through before the fuse blows when the manufacture is telling you 18 amps max. <<>> Yes, you can use the 20 amp fuse. At 250 volts 2 amps is no problem and you are not going to blow up the microwave. On a fault current the 20 amp fuse will trip just as fast as an 18 amp fuse.
Chances are that you used a fuse that is not rated for this application. RE: you use a 5 AMP fuse in a 10 AMP application, and it blows real quick. Just try a higher rated amp fuse. Hope that helps.
