Battery disconnection system
On the Virus, the main battery can be disconnected from the circuit.
There are two handles in the cockpit used to operate the battery disconnection, the battery discon-
nection lever and the battery disconnection ring. The battery disconnection lever, which is a red ag-
type lever is found on the rewall above the main battery on the left-hand side of the cockpit. This
lever has an attached wire which leads to the battery disconnection ring on the instrument panel’s
switch column.
To disconnect the battery from the circuit, simply pull the battery disconnection ring on the instru-
ment panel’s switch column.
To reconnect the battery back to the circuit, use the ag-type lever on the rewall.
Deect the lever so that its ag end points towards the rewall. Having done this correctly, you will
feel the ag-lever jam into position.
Battery reconnection can be done in-ight as well (e.g. following a sucessfully rectied emergency
situation) but only from the left-hand seat, since you cannot reach the ag-lever from the right-hand
side of the cockpit.
