Before Attempting Any Major Maintenance Disconnect Battery
Battery Isolator
Battery Isolator must always be used when carrying out service/
maintenance work which would be dangerous if the engine was to be
started or the machine electric system were to be activated.
When major maintenance work is being carried out,
battery must be disconnected.
The battery isolator lever is removable when in the OFF position
and may be used as an anti-vandal device when the machine is
left for periods of time.
