Main battery disconnecting switch
Use the master switch (1) to disconnect supply of the
battery to the electrical systems of the tractor when dis-
mounting. IT IS OBLIGATORY to disconnect the battery
during maintenance.
It is a good habit to always remove the key to prevent
unauthorized use or accidents.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the master disconnect switch
(1) to STOP the Diesel engine, or the machine power units
will be damaged. The engine would not stop anyway. For
safety, the battery is not disconnected when the engine
is running.
Even if not actually required, it is advisable to insulate the
machine electric system at the end of each work day by
means of the master disconnect switch. This operation
increases safety and prolongs battery life.
NOTE: The master disconnect switch must be used for any
operation on the electric system. It is at any rate OBLIGA-
TORY to disconnect the battery completely if welding is
carried out on the machine.
IMPORTANT: In case of fire, immediately detach the
cable from the positive terminal or, if equipped, operate
the master disconnect switch.
The master disconnect switch (3) disconnects the battery
from the tractor electric system.
The master disconnect switch (1) can only be activated
with the ignition key in the OFF position.
WARNING: Before any maintenance opera-
tions, always disconnect the battery by means
of the master disconnect switch and remove
the terminals from the battery.
If the tractor is not used for a long time, it is
advisable to disconnect the battery.
WARNING: When the engine is running, the battery
cannot be disconnected in any way.
This switch (1) has two positions:
● Position A: battery connected, all systems are pow-
ered. The icon is lit up.
● Position B: battery disconnected, only the instrument
cluster and the courtesy light in the cab are lit up. The
icon is off.
