Battery isolator
The battery isolator switch is used to disconnect the
battery from the machine electrics. The switch must
be turned to the off position if any maintenance
work is to be performed on the machine.
Some machine systems perform shut down
cycles after the engine stops. Wait until shut
down cycles are complete before setting the
battery isolator switch to the off position.
The Battery must be isolated at the end of a
working cycle or if the machine is being left
unattended and the lights are not required.
Disconnect
If the machine has an electronically controlled
engine, you must wait a period of time before
you isolate the battery. This is to allow the ECM
(Engine Control Module) to shutdown correctly.
The time period starts when you turn the ignition
off. Check the isolator switch label and the
operators manual for the correct time period.
In the event of an emergency, remove the
isolator key without waiting.
1.
Wait for the specified duration after the
engine is turned off before you isolate the
battery (30 s).
2.

3.
Turn the ignition key to the off position.
4.
Wait for the engine ECM to shutdown
correctly (if installed).
5.

direction and remove.
Connect
Before you start the engine or use the machine
electrics, the battery isolator key must be installed
and switched on.

Make sure the ignition is set to off.

Insert the battery isolator key and turn in the
