The battery master switch must be in the on position for the
electrical system to work. A common coach-builder solution
is to place the knob for the battery master switch by either
the passenger door or by the drivers seat.
Never break the current when the engine is running!
After finishing a shift, especially when the bus is to be
parked for longer periods (i.e. overnight), the battery master
switch should be turned off. Otherwise there is a risk that the
batteries will discharge if any power sources were to be left
on. However, there are a small number of power sources
which are intended to function even when the battery mas-
ter switch is turned off.
Other types of battery master switches may also be present,
i.e. a toggle switch placed on the side panel by the driver’s
seat or a switch behind the cover to the front headlight on
the door side of the bus. These switches work in the same
way as the control knob, i.e. they are used to switch the bat-
tery master switch on and off.
