position prior to activating the MASTER switches, starting the engine, or ap-
plying an external power source.
Battery Disconnect Switch
The battery can be disconnected from the circuit. There are two handles
in the cockpit used to operate the battery connection: the battery discon-
nection lever and the battery disconnection ring. The battery disconnec-
tion lever, which is a red flag-type lever is found on the firewall above the
main battery on the left-hand side of the cabin. 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, pull the battery
disconnection ring on the instrument panel’s switch column.
To reconnect the battery back to the circuit, use the flag-type lever on the
firewall. Deflect the lever so that its flag end points towards the firewall. Hav-
ing done this correctly, you will feel the flag-lever jam into position.
7.8.5 WARNING LIGHTS
Generator Fail Light
The red GENERATOR FAIL Light on the upper-left side of the switch panel is
connected to the voltage regulator. When ON, this means that the generator
is not operating. Normal state (generator operating) is when this LED light
is OFF.
NOTE: Engine RPM below 1600 will typically result in GENERATOR FAIL
warning light to come ON, however this is not a failure but a case of insu-
cient RPM to generate electrical power. Increase RPM.
NOTE: The LOW VOLTS warnings come from the Garmin G3X displays and
are displayed on both displays. See Garmin G3X Pilot’s Guide for details.
Battery Caution Light
The orange Batt Caution light is installed on the switch panel only when
EarthX battery is installed. Batt Caution light is ON when the battery man-
agement system (BMS) integrated in the battery detects any malfunctions
(See Chapter 3 - Emergency procedures for additional details).
