You can control your batteries with the main switches. Set the main switch knob (1) or (4) Fig.18 to the ON position. This
will turn on the selected battery. Set the main switch (1) or (4) to the OFF position. This will turn off the selected battery.
The main battery switch (4) must be in the ON position to start the engine.
Main switches are type BF441 and have removable knob for safety. Turn the knob to the «Remove» position and pull it
towards you to remove.
NEVER DISCONNECT BATTERIES WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
STOP THE ENGINE BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE BATTERIES.
Voltage Sensitive Relay (VSR) (type BF451) automatically combines two batteries when charging and isolates two
batteries when not charging. VSR has built-in LED indication. The LED indication is ON when VSR engages combining
batteries.
In case of a significant discharge of your batteries or breakdown of VSR, you can use switch (2) “Emergency parallel”.
Set the knob of switch “Emergency parallel” (usually yellow) to the ON position and you force both batteries to be used
together. The usual position of the knob of switch “Emergency parallel” is OFF.
As this particular battery switch “Emergency parallel” features a “Stop engine before switching” footprint once the engine
starts you can reposition the battery switch to the OFF detent to revert back to one battery for engine starting.
It is recommended not to leave the switch “Emergency parallel” in the ON position as under the right conditions a severe
discharge could result in both batteries becoming “dead”.
