1.5.4 Electrical Safety
During maintenance of the electrical system,
disconnect the start battery negative (-) terminal.
To isolate the 48V battery system depress the
isolation switch on Hybrid machines (See upper
diagram).
Pull the battery-disconnect handle (Anderson) for
DC Electric machines. (See lower diagram). Note;
for clarity the diagram shows battery tray removed.
Ensure sparks, flames or lighted tobacco are kept
away from batteries as they emit explosive gases.
Keep metallic objects (tools, etc.) well clear from
battery posts.
Ensure battery posts are always protected and
caps are installed and in good condition.
Never connect a discharged battery in series with a
fully charged battery as this creates a risk of
explosion. Always use batteries that are charged/
discharged to the same level.
