the battery is going to be changed or removed, please first take off the pos-
itive lead "+ Solar Module" on the solar charge regulator.

tery cut-off switch, the frost protection valve of the heater system opens.

module, an auxiliary battery charging unit, the solar charge regulator and
the alternator when the battery cut-off switch is switched off.
