MANUAL BATTERY CUT-OFF SWITCH
For greater safety, or when the machine is not set in motion for a prolonged
period of time, it is possible to remove power from the electrical equipment of the
machine via the manual battery cut-off switch.
1) Follow the instructions below to operate the battery cut-off switch:
- turn battery cut-off switch "D" to position "OFF"
- under these conditions it is no longer possible to start the engine.
2) Follow the instructions below to power the electrical equipment of the machine
again:
- turn battery cut-off switch "D" to position "ON"
- under these conditions it is possible to start the engine again.
WARNING! Never use the battery cut-off switch when either the diesel engine is running or the instrument
panel is switched on, since severe damage to the electrical equipment and to the instruments of your machine may
occur. The battery cut-off switch is not intended as an engine shutdown device, and it shall not be used as such.
For a correct use of this switch, stop the diesel engine first, then take the engine start key out of the instrument panel,
wait about 30 seconds and finally rotate selector "D" to "Off".
Should the previously described procedure not be followed, serious errors may occur in the electronic control unit.
