SECTION 6 –
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Your machine is equipped with a Battery
Disconnect Switch (located on the rear
mainframe) to de-energize battery power,
cutting all electrical power to the engine.
•
Rotate the Battery Disconnect Switch to
the ON (clockwise) or OFF (counter-
clockwise) positions to operate.
NOTE: Turn the Battery Disconnect Switch
OFF during long storage periods.
NOTE: Tier 4 Final Engines - Allow the
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
Recirculation Pump to finish running
before turning the Battery
Disconnect Switch off.
BATTERY TENDER
-If Equipped
Your machine may be equipped with a
Battery Tender (mounted on the engine skid
above the battery disconnect switch) to
maintain battery charge during extended
storage periods. The Battery Tender is
factory-installed and comes already
connected to the batteries.
If you wish to trickle charge the batteries,
an extension cord must be brought to the
machine and plugged into the Battery
Tender’s 120-volt AC plug (standard
electrical plug). The Battery Tender can be
plugged in indefinitely as it monitors battery
charge and prevents itself from overcharging
the batteries.
IMPORTANT
• Do not bypass disconnect.
• Do not terminate electrical devices to
battery terminals.
• Turn switch off before servicing electrical
equipment.
• Completely isolate electronics before
welding by disconnecting battery negative
terminal.
• Rotate switch to “ON” position for
operation.
