Driver Seat Interlock (SS-536, SS-546, MX-600)
This vehicle is equipped with a driver seat interlock. The vehicle
control system will not run unless the driver is seated properly in
the driver seat..
Whenever the driver leaves the vehicle, the driver should turn
the key-switch off, place the forward-off-reverse switch in the
center “OFF” position, and set the park brake.
The seat interlock switch is only one
part of the vehicle safety system. The
interlock switch should not be relied
upon as the only safety feature used
to disable or disengage this vehicle.
Doing so could result in unexpected
movement of the vehicle causing
severe bodily injury and/or property
damage.
Battery Status Indicator, Analog
The battery status indicator is located to the left of the hour meter. The
normal operating range is in the green zone. Park the vehicle for a few
minutes for an accurate reading. The vehicle needs charging if it is in the
yellow zone. During and immediately following charging, the needle will be
in the red zone to the right. The needle will move through the green zone
toward the yellow zone as the batteries discharge. Charge the batteries
when the needle is in the yellow zone. If it is in the red zone to the left, the
batteries are empty and the truck should be taken out of service and charged
to avoid damaging the batteries.
Battery Status Indicator, Digital Bargraph (optional)
The battery status indicator is located to the left of the hour meter. The battery
status indicator has a LED bar graph that indicates the relative state of charge
of the battery. The top LED will light only when connected to a fully charged
battery or after completing a charging cycle. Successive lower LED’s will
light as the battery charge diminishes. When the second from the bottom
LED flashes the battery energy status is in energy reserve and should be
placed on charge as soon as possible. When the two bottom LED’s are
alternately flashing the batteries are empty and the truck should be taken out
of service and charged to avoid damaging the batteries. The BSI will reset to
fully charged only after a complete charge cycle is completed. A complete
charge cycle is defined as battery voltage exceeding 2.35 volts per cell for a
minimum of 6 minutes.
