BATTERY ISOLATOR SWITCH
Before disconnecting battery power with the isolator,
ensure the key--start and any other electrical
switches are turned OFF.
IMPORTANT: After turning the tractor key--start off,
wait for 60 seconds before isolating the battery
power. This will permit any unsaved information in
the tractor electronic processors to be memorised.
An inbuilt power reserve will maintain a small amount
of power to supply the electronic processors and
radio memories when the tractor battery is isolated.
Electronic Operation
The solenoid operated battery isolator is controlled
by a switch (1) located on the left--hand cab ’C’ pillar.
Depress the top of the switch to disconnect battery
power, an audible warning will sound for
approximately 5 seconds. Depress the bottom of the
switch to re--connect battery power.
IMPORTANT: When in the ’ON’ position, the isolator
switch solenoid consumes a small amount of
electrical power. If the tractor is left for an extended
period of time with the isolator on, battery power may
be reduced. Always turn the battery isolator switch
’OFF’ when the tractor is not in use.
NOTE: The key--start switch must be in the ’OFF’ or
’ACCESSORIES’ position to operate the battery
isolator, it will not function with the key--start in the
’ON’ (run) position.
