Battery Disconnect Switch
IMPORTANT: Never attempt to turn the battery
disconnect switch OFF while engine is running or key
switch is not in the OFF position. Failure to do so may
damage the electrical system.
The battery disconnect switch is different from the engine
start key switch. When the battery disconnect switch is turned
OFF, the electrical system will completely be isolated from
the battery. No current will flow through the entire electrical
system.
Before turning the battery disconnect switch OFF, be sure
to turn the key switch OFF and wait 1 minute or more after
the engine stops before turning battery disconnect switch.
Because controllers communicate with each other and
record information after the engine stops, battery power is
required for a minimum of 1 minute. When turning the battery
disconnect switch OFF then ON again, reset of radio station
and clock may be required.
Use the battery disconnect switch only for the following
purposes; otherwise, turn it ON.
x
Before maintaining and repairing the electrical system
x
Before storing the machine for long period (Discharge
prevention)
x
Before replacing the batteries.
x
Before welding on the machine.
The battery disconnect switch is located in front of the right
battery box.
