Battery disconnect switch
IMPORTANT! The battery disconnect switch must not be
turned off, when the engine is running.
Battery disconnect switch (A) is positioned on the left side of the
cab under the entry step. After finishing work for the day, the
battery disconnect switch should be turned off.
Batteries
The batteries are connected in series and positioned on the left
side of the machine.
Batteries, checking electrolyte level
Check the electrolyte level every 500 hours. At temperatures
above approx. +20 °C (+68 °F) check more often.
The electrolyte level should be approx. 10 mm (0.4 in) above the
cell plates.
Filling
1 Fill with distilled water.
2 Operate the machine after topping up, so that the water is
mixed in with the battery electrolyte. This is particularly
important in cold weather.
3 Check that the cable terminals and pole studs are clean, well
tightened and coated with petroleum jelly or similar.
