Battery Disconnect Switch
Use the wheel loader’s battery
disconnect switch whenever the
vehicle will sit idle for a month
or longer. If the switch is left in
the ON position, the batteries
can lose their charge. No juice
means your loader will need a
slave start to get back to work
on the construction site.
Whatever you do, don’t use
the battery disconnect switch
to turn off your machine. That’s
what the ignition switch is for.
Using the disconnect switch to
shut down will fry your loader’s
electrical circuits. You’ll Fnd
this info in the CAUTION on
WP 0004 00-6 of the -10 TM.
By the way, when the battery
disconnect switch is turned off,
battery power is retained for
another 30 seconds. That gives
the vehicle’s electronics enough
time to shut down properly.
