DESCRIPTION
General
The electrical system is 12-volt operation with 12-volt
starting, consisting of an alternator and three lead-acid
batteries. Electrical power is transferred to and from the
carrier and superstructure through the electrical swivel. The
CAN bus system consists of many control modules which are
located on the carrier, superstructure, and operator’s cab.
Refer to Figure 3-1 for a list of the different control modules
and their locations. For more detailed information on the
electrical swivel, refer to Swing System, page 6-1.
