Battery Disconnect Switch - Hitachi ZW140-6 Operator's Manual

Battery Disconnect Switch

IMPORTANT: Never turn the disconnect switch OFF
while the engine is running or the key switch is in the
position other than OFF. Failure to do so may damage
the electrical system.
The battery disconnect switch is different from the engine
start key switch. When the battery disconnect switch is turned
OFF, the electrical system will completely be isolated from
the battery. No current will flow through the whole electrical
system.
Before turning the battery disconnect switch OFF, be sure
to turn key switch OFF and wait 5 minute or more after the
engine stops. If the battery disconnect switch is turned
OFF within 5 minute after the engine stops, it may result in
malfunction of the electrical system. When turning the battery
disconnect switch from OFF to ON, preset radio station and
the clock may be reset. Set them again.
Use the battery disconnect switch only for the following
purposes; otherwise, turn it ON.
 Before maintaining and repairing the electrical system
 Before storing the machine for long period of time,
reducing the battery discharge
 Before performing welding operation on the machine.
 Before replacing the batteries.
