mainframe) to de-energize battery power,
cutting all electrical power to the engine.
NOTE: Ensure the Battery Disconnect
Switch is in the ON position before
starting the engine.
• Rotate the Battery Disconnect Switch to
the ON (clockwise) or OFF (counter-
clockwise) positions to operate.
NOTICE
To ensure sufficient electrical contact,
battery terminal connections should be
as clean and tight as possible.

terminate electrical devices to battery
terminals. Turn Battery Disconnect
Switch OFF before servicing electrical
equipment. Completely isolate
electronics before welding by
disconnecting negative battery terminal.
Failure to comply may result in serious
injury or equipment damage.
WARNING
